SIMENON GEORGES: (1903-1989) Belgian Writer, creator of the fictional detective Jules Maigret. An interesting T.L.S., Georges Simenon, one page, 8vo, Lausanne, 19th January 1988, to Andrew Hull, in French. Simenon announces 'I don't believe in structures', continuing to explain 'More precisely, I don't believe they have a future. We gave up writing those swashbucklers that were all the rage in the last century, and the structures of a novel matter nowhere near as much as the personality of authors do'. Simenon further remarks 'As for science-fiction, I don't believe in it. Not more than I believed in those romance novels ['''romans pour jeunes filles pales'''; 'novels for pale young girls'] in my adolescence, although they had taken the world by storm'. A letter of good literary content. EX £100-150
