Les Autres (1962) is a ‘roman dur’ by Georges Simenon, the story of Blaise who tells the story of the week long aftermath of the death of Antoine, a rich uncle. The story is reminiscent of The Old Man Dies, which also takes place in a week's time from the death to the burial. Full-of-plans but good-for-nothing braggart Édouard shares similarities with Bernard from The Old Man Dies.
