- Description
- W. Somerset Maugham produced a prolific body of work ranging from short stories to comedic plays, but he's best known for his fiction and semi-factual travelogues. Maugham traveled extensively, feeling he must visit a place to be able to write about it convincingly. His straightforward and noncritical prose style focuses on themes of uncertainty, isolation, and the effects of society's strictures on the individual. His character relationships are complex, and often resolve unhappily, but readers find in them realism and insight into the human condition. Start with: Of Human Bondage (fiction); The Land of the Blessed Virgin (nonfiction)
