Short biography
Georges Simenon was born at Liege in Belgium in 1903. At sixteen he began work as a journalist
on the Gazette de Liege. He has published 158 books, many of them psychological novels and
others in the Inspector Maigret series, and his work has been admired by almost all the leading
French and English critics. His books have been translated into twenty-three languages and
forty-four of them have been filmed; his psychological novels have had a great influence on the
French cinema. He has travelled all over the world, and at one time lived on a cutter making
long journeys of exploration round the coasts of Northern Europe. He is married and has three
children. His recreations are riding, fishing, and golf. Taken from 1959 Penguin book jacket of My Friend Maigret.

Author Disambiguation

How many authors?

Georges Simenon is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author.

This entry includes…

Combine with…

What?

Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?

A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.

Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?

A: Yes you can.

Q: I know an author is separate, but some miscreant, whose high-spirited japery will land him in no end of trouble, keeps combining them!

A: Yes you can.

Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.

Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?

A: No authors.

Q: I am the miscreant and I'm right!

A: Take it to the Combiners group.
