Apart from his detective fiction, he achieved critical acclaim for his literary novels which he called ''romans durs'' (hard novels). Among his literary admirers were Max Jacob, François Mauriac and André Gide. Gide wrote, “I consider Simenon a great novelist, perhaps the greatest, and the most genuine novelist that we have had in contemporary French literature.”
Born and raised in Liège, Belgium, Simenon lived for extended periods in France (1922–45), the United States (1946–55) and finally Switzerland (1957-1989). Much of his work is semi-autobiographical, inspired by his childhood and youth in Liège, extensive travels in Europe and the world, wartime experiences, troubled marriages, and numerous love affairs.
Critics such as John Banville have praised Simenon's novels for their psychological insights and vivid evocation of time and place. Among his most notable works are ''The Saint-Fiacre Affair'' (1932), ''Monsieur Hire's Engagement'' (1933), ''Act of Passion'' (1947), ''The Snow was Dirty'' (1948) and ''The Cat'' (1967).
