It is neither the first nor the last integral of Simenon.
For the 120th anniversary of the writer's birth, Omnibus offers us the 117 "hard" novels (excluding Maigret) written by Simenon between 1931 and 1972. All in twelve volumes.
Each being accompanied by an unpublished interview conducted by Jacques Santamaria (screenwriter and director of nine adaptations of hard novels) with writers, filmmakers, critics, scriptwriters.

Which is a good angle since Simenon is the most suitable writer for film and television.
This integral begins with the novels from 1931 to 1934 and an interview with Patrice Leconte, who happily adapted
Monsieur Hire
(1989) and
Maigret et la Jeune Morte
(2022).
Éric Neuhoff is the guest of volume II;
Didier Decoin, from volume V;
Jean Becker, from volume VIII;
Pierre Assouline, from volume X.
