The Summing Up By Maugham W. Somerset - International Collectors Library 1938

Description: This is a short book that gives you considerable insight into what it was like for W. Somerset Maugham to write fiction. It is a curious fact that, as writers have shifted over the past 120 years into post-modernism, changing their fiction to do less and less summarizing and judging and more holistic "objective recording of events", they have changed their books about writing in just the opposite way, so that we now have bookshelves full of books with pithy, inflexible writing advice based on faulty abstractions of just the sort modern writing is supposed to avoid. This book is not like that; it is holistic, talking about this one author's writing in the context of his life.
