For nearly sixty years Somerset Maugham (1874--1965) was one of the most famous writers in the world. An enormously successful playwright and the author of over a hundred short stories and twenty-one novels -- several of which are now established classics -- Maugham expertly concealed a private life. Predominantly homosexual, and deeply in love with the charming but dissolute Gerald Haxton, he made a disastrous marriage to Syrie Wellcome which he would escape by travelling and writing extensively in the Far East. A talented linguist, during both world wars Maugham worked for British Intelligence. In between he moved in literary and theatrical circles in London, New York and Hollywood and entertained lavishly at his luxurious villa in the south of France. Outwardly his life was richly rewarding, but privately he suffered anguish from an unrequited love affair and a shocking final betrayal. Acclaimed biographer Selina Hastings has had access to Maugham's extensive private correspondence as well as to important family testimony, which sheds a fascinating new light on this complex and extraordinary man.

打翻的牛奶,错过的情人,每个人都会遇到的司空见惯,但只有毛姆能成为“毛姆”
作家用写作来创造自由,在那之后呢?
毛姆的八卦宇宙与创作原力
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
抛开作品不谈,用三个关键词概括威廉·萨默赛特·毛姆,答案应该是:间谍,双性恋,老流氓。这三个词对于爱好八卦的读者而言简直可以自己扩充成千言万语。 无需谴责读者八卦,无需非议关键词无聊,毛姆本身就是个满世界搜罗故事,再讲给我们听的作家,对八卦的爱贯穿他整个生命... (展开)> 更多书评 90篇
