Most people struggle to get by; Frank takes it easy in his mother's whorehouse, which caters to members of the occupying forces. But Frank is restless. He is a pimp, a thug, a petty thief, and, as \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDirty Snow\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eopens, he has just killed his first man. Through the unrelenting darkness and cold of an endless winter, Frank will pursue abjection until at last there is nowhere to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHans Koning has described \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirty Snow\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e as \"one of the very few novels to come out of German-occupied France that gets it exactly right.\" In a study of the criminal mind that is comparable to Jim Thompson's \u003ci\u003eThe Killer Inside Me\u003c\/i\u003e, Simenon maps a no man's land of the spirit in which human nature is driven to destruction--and redemption, perhaps, as well--by forces beyond its control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"Dirty Snow | Georges Simenon | Paperback | 9781590170434 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks D 1760098","offer_id":49199065563288,"sku":"1760098","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51h3dfM745L.jpg?v=1780693987","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/dirty-snow","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
