The Snow Was Dirty (Romans Durs) -- Georges Simenon, Paperback

"Simenon has concentrated noir into a darkness as solid and heavy as the interior of a dwarf star." --William T. Vollmann What happens to everyday morality in a time of political deceit and betrayal? In an unnamed city under military occupation, nineteen-year-old Frank--a low-level thug and thief--should be content enough with his warm home and full stomach, even against the dreariness of an endless winter. Instead, though, he's inexorably drawn to commit a string of brutal, senseless acts of violence. Set against the backdrop of a bleak, pitiless world, Georges Simenon's The Snow Was Dirty is a peerless indictment and examination of the chilling banality of evil.
