Debauchery of W. Somerset Maugham
Author, playwright and playboy W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was well-placed to utter his wonderful description of the French Riviera - 'a sunny place for shady people'. Somerset Maugham dominated the stage and silver screen with his portrayal of humanity – from The Razor’s Edge which explored war and wartime generations to Of Human Bondage which explored drugs and the underworld of women and men. The most louche of all the expatriates who congregated on the beautiful stretch of coast between Nice and Monaco before World War II, the prolific writer held court at his fabulous mansion, the Villa Mauresque, in glamorous Cap Ferrat.

A Man From Glasgow by W. Somerset Maugham
W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was a British novelist, playwright, and short-story writer. He was born in Paris to British parents and raised by his uncle in England after his parents died when he was a child.
Maugham studied medicine at St. Thomas's Hospital in London, but he never practiced medicine. Instead, he began writing and published his first novel, "Liza of Lambeth," in 1897. He went on to become one of the most popular writers of his time, known for his clear and precise prose, his psychological insight, and his keen observation of human behavior.
Maugham's most famous works include "Of Human Bondage," "The Razor's Edge," "The Moon and Sixpence," and "Cakes and Ale." Many of his works explore themes of love, sexuality, and the search for meaning in life.

W. Somerset Maugham - Poor Old Willie - Christopher Hitchens
From Christopher Hitchens audio book Arguably
Here is the opening sentence of Anthony Burgess's Earthly Powers (1980)—incidentally, one of the most underrated English novels of the past century: "It was the afternoon of my eighty-first birthday, and I was in bed with my catamite when Ali announced that the archbishop had come to see me."
One knows at once who is the object of this pastiche. One knows it before "Geoffrey," described tersely as "my Ganymede or male lover as well as my secretary," is further described as responding to the intrusion by "pulling on his overtight summer slacks." Yet one is tempted to continue quoting, about the Mediterranean villa and the goings-on there ("I lay a little while, naked, mottled, sallow, emaciated, smoking a cigarette that should have been postco...

W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was a British novelist, playwright, and short-story writer. He was born in Paris to British parents and raised by his uncle in England after his parents died when he was a child.
Maugham studied medicine at St. Thomas's Hospital in London, but he never practiced medicine. Instead, he began writing and published his first novel, "Liza of Lambeth," in 1897. He went on to become one of the most popular writers of his time, known for his clear and precise prose, his psychological insight, and his keen observation of human behavior.
Maugham's most famous works include "Of Human Bondage," "The Razor's Edge," "The Moon and Sixpence," and "Cakes and Ale." Many of his works explore themes of love, sexuality, and the search for meaning in life.
In addition to his novels and short stories, Maugham was also a successful playwright. His plays, including "The Circle" and "Our Betters," were popular in London's West End and on Broadway.
Maugham was openly gay, which was unusual for his time, and he had several long-term relationships with men. He also traveled extensively throughout his life, often to exotic locations, and his experiences traveling and living abroad influenced much of his writing.
Maugham was a complex and contradictory figure. He was a man of great charm and wit, but he was also capable of great cruelty. He was a homosexual in a time when homosexuality was illegal, and he kept his sexuality a secret for most of his life.
Maugham was a brilliant writer, but he was also a man of many flaws. He was a snob and a misogynist, and he was often cruel to those around him. However, he was also a man of great insight, and his work is still read and admired today.
Maugham died in the south of France in 1965 at the age of 91. His work continues to be read and studied today, and he is considered one of the most important British writers of the 20th century.

From Christopher Hitchens audio book Arguably
Here is the opening sentence of Anthony Burgess's Earthly Powers (1980)—incidentally, one of the most underrated English novels of the past century: "It was the afternoon of my eighty-first birthday, and I was in bed with my catamite when Ali announced that the archbishop had come to see me."
One knows at once who is the object of this pastiche. One knows it before "Geoffrey," described tersely as "my Ganymede or male lover as well as my secretary," is further described as responding to the intrusion by "pulling on his overtight summer slacks." Yet one is tempted to continue quoting, about the Mediterranean villa and the goings-on there ("I lay a little while, naked, mottled, sallow, emaciated, smoking a cigarette that should have been postcoital but was not"). This is quite simply because the parody is so much better than anything that W. Somerset Maugham ever wrote himself. Poor old "Willie" was more given to openings like this: "I have never begun a novel with more misgiving. If I call it a novel it is only because I don't know what else to call it."

Philip is sent to a boarding school but his shyness and his club foot make it difficult for him to fit in. The novel follows this theme throughout as Phillip travels to Germany, France, and England, makes new acquaintances, searches for his life’s calling, and experiences romantic episodes. Mildred in particular, will leave you wondering about Phillip's obsession and passion for such a woman. More than a few of us have had “our Mildred”. The characters in Of Human Bondage are real-life with faults, qualities, and feelings that Maugham describes so vividly. It would not be unusual that we have encountered individuals with traits similar to the characters in this book. At times the emotions in this novel, so simply but purely written, will leave you either sad or happy and even perhaps, teary-eyed as the enthusiasm of youth is met with reality as Phillip tries to discover the meaning of HIS life through the dreams of others.
