Clare Francis on Somerset Maugham
' I've used in my writings pretty well everything that has happened to me. I have taken people I knew either slightly or intimately and used them as a foundation for characters of my own invention. Fact and fiction are so intermingled in my work I can hardly distinguish one from the other.'
(W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM) with Denis Quilley and Tim Bannerman
Paul Hardwick , Amanda Kirby Patsy Smart , Alexander Bullion Paul Hawkins , Nicholas Pandolfi
In her early 20s CLARE FRANCIS read Somerset Maugham's autobiographical novel Of Human Bondage - As I read it,' she says, 'I remembered all the bewilderment, the confusion and the pain of growing up in what seemed to me a very strange and incomprehensible world ... The man who wrote Of Human Bondage was a dreamer, and the knowledge that life would never live up to his expectations was a burden he was never able to bear.'
