Thanks, David. There's a US edition too but it omits the last chapter, though most of the material for that is contained in my recent post. There is/was an ebook version, which I can send you as a pdf if you don't mind reading paperless.
Writing biography involves quite a bit of detective work, so I suppose the comparison is apt (though Marie Dominique, unlike Madame Maigret, is not much of a cook.) Incidentally Simenon and Fellini were friends, and carried on a long correspondence. Simenon was chairman of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival when LA DOLCE VITA was shown and was responsible for it getting the Palme d'Or.
Very enjoyable and I’m not envious at all! You mention Maigret; it strikes me that you were a bit like him in your pursuit of Fellini, going to places and not giving up, doing your homework.

Great Post John. So vivid and entertaining 😃 I like Fellini's films 🎥

I loved every word of this article. Amarcord is my favourite film of all time. Now to find a copy of this book...
Terrific post! I really enjoyed the read 😃
I was totally engrossed reading this. I would love to read the e-book although I do like to hold a book in my hands.
