La Veuve Couderc

La Veuve Couderc is a novel by Belgian writer Georges Simenon. It was first published in 1942. The novel was published at around the same time as Camus' The Stranger. Both novels contain a similar main character and themes, and Simenon was upset that Camus' work went on to greater acclaim.[1]

For the film based on the novel, see La Veuve Couderc (film).

The novel was republished as The Widow by NYRB Classics in 2009.
