Gingras Joe (THE GIRL IN HIS PAST by Georges Simenon, translated from the French by Louise Verese, pub- lished by Prentice Hall, New York City psychological murder mys- tery, 211 pages.) One of the mysteries about mys- tery stry writers is why Georges Simenon, author of 350 novels, hasn’t run out of ideas. And he seems to be sort of literarily self- fertilizing because each new book offers something different in plot, interpretation, characterization, or depiction of milieu. This time Simenon uses the new penetrations of psychoanalysis to explain why a murderer shoots his victim, hits him across the face 21 times with a poker, and finally batters his head in with a brass statuette. The whole psychological upset in the grown man is traced to a girl on a beach who disturbed him in some adolescent emotional yester- day. The pattern of the succeeding years is carefully put together like , Pieces of a mosaic and finally re- solves itself in the act of murder. How skilled a psychoanalyst is Simenon, of course, is a question. | Could some sexual disappointment jor frustration in a normal young boy become an act of violence as | brutal and calculated as this? A- | side from the rankly diseased mind | of insanity is Simenon trying to _ NEWS OF INi ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYO i Key West Girl Will Graduate June 7 With B. S. Degree At Florida State U.

The Italian recipes include every- thing from the old spaghetti with tomato sauce, to some delectable known as little cocked hats. Then there is pumpkin soup and ravioli, eel with macaroni, chicken a la marengo and more than a hundred others, to say nothing of several pages on the selection of Italian wines. Any cook planning to tangle with these dishes should come armed with olive oil, garlic, .parmesan cheese, tomato paste, salted an- choives and dried mushrooms, There are more egg dishes in the Spanish cuisine than in all the others put together. There are eggs in potatoes, eggs in burnt butter, eggs with onion sauce and eggs To ledo style. As the authors say “. . . when a Spaniard is parted from his eggs his whole spirit sags, so on a trip abroad he will first learn the foreign word for egg, and in an emergency, whether in Paris or Berlin, he will draw a painstaking Picture of the henfruit to explain to the waiter exactly what he wants, for this is his esperanto of lunching.”” Many of the other Spanish reci- pes included in the book ar quite similar to Cuban inspired Key West say all murder is done by men in this state of emotional disease?

In this last offering of Simenon there is | an awful lot of the case study. As | the end of the book approaches the pity for the murderer has reached {a point whre the reader wonders |why he didn't give the corpse 30 whacks with the poker instead of 21, and why he didn’t bruise up his wife in the same way and then go after his old mother.
