Though numerous biographies have been published on William Faulkner, readers are often presented conflicting interpretations of his life and work. Faulkner’s view of himself and his own family was mercurial, and it is widely acknowledged that Faulkner was an unreliable narrator of his own life. As a result, biographies of Faulkner echo and complicate the multitude of ways he portrayed himself, accepting that truth, if it exists, is subjective. Like his work, Faulkner’s own life, then, is not only open to different readings but welcomes them within the landscape of his oeuvre.

Mit Kommissar Maigret schuf Georges Simenon eine der eindrucksvollsten Figuren der Kriminalliteratur – leise, beharrlich und zutiefst menschlich. Diese 20 Hörspiele aus vier Jahrzehnten (1953–1994) lassen Maigrets Welt neu lebendig werden: das nächtliche Paris, verrauchte Cafés, elegante Boulevards und düstere Hafenkneipen. Statt aus Action entfaltet sich Spannung aus Atmosphäre, feiner Psychologie und dem genauen Zuhören eines Ermittlers, der seine Fälle mit Geduld und Menschenkenntnis löst.
