He made lots of money, lived in great style and was probably the most famous writer of his day. To his friends and enemies (lots of both) William Somerset Maugham was a man of great complexity - kind and malicious, vulnerable and cynical, 'the grand old business-man of British letters'.
In this account of his uneasy life and complicated times, his nephew Viscount Maugham , his companion Alan Searle , his publisher A. S. Frere , Garson Kanin , Malcolm Muggeridge and Dame Rebecca West recall a victim Of Human Bondage.
