Georges Simenon
The Man from London
The Man from London
An odd little tale about someone accidentally witnessing a murder and ending up with a suitcase of money. The story is less about the action than the personality of the main character who sort of drifts along in a haze making seemingly random decisions. The ending is odd except that you sort of know that that is a likely outcome. Ultimately it seems to be about how what seems like a random act can affect people who are strangers but bound together in that act, although being strangers dealing with the consequences in their own ways and to a great extent having to deal with them alone. Worth a read.
