The Glass Cage (novel)
''La Cage de verre'' (1971), translated as ''The Glass Cage'', is a novel by Georges Simenon; it is one of the author's self-described ''roman durs'' or "hard novels" to distinguish it from his ''romans populaires'' or "popular novels," which are primarily mysteries that usually feature his famous Inspector Maigret character. The book is divided into eight chapters and is written using the third person narrative mode. ''La Cage de verre'' was translated into English by Antonia White for Hamish Hamilton in 1973. Background and composition In 1927, as part of a publicity stunt that was to inaugurate a new daily paper, the ''Paris-Matinal'', Simenon signed a contract in which he agreed, for the sum of 100,000 francs, to be locked inside a glass cage outside the Moulin Rouge.

Georges Simenon
Georges Joseph Christian Simenon (; 13 February 1903 – 4 September 1989) was a Belgian writer. He published nearly 500 novels and numerous short works, and was the creator of the fictional detective Jules Maigret. Early life and education Simenon was born at 26 (now number 24) to Désiré Simenon and his wife Henriette Brüll. Désiré Simenon worked in an accounting office at an insurance company and had married Henriette in April 1902. Although Simenon was born on Friday 13 February 1903, superstition resulted in his birth being registered as having been on the 12th. This story of his birth is recounted at the beginning of his novel '' Pedigree''. The Simenon family traces its origins back to Belgian Limburg. Simenon could trace his line back to peasants living in the area since as early as 1580. His mother had origins from Limburg, the Netherlands and Germany while his father was of Walloon origin.Becker, Lucille Frackman. "Georges Simenon (1903-1989)." In: Amoia, Al ...
