What people are saying
Critic, biographer, playwright, director, unabashed Steely Dan fan, ardent philosemite. "Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again." Crazy in love!
I've always steered clear of the original screen version of "The Razor's Edge," one of my favorite Somerset Maugham novels, because I was sure Hollywood would foul it up—and boy, was I ever right, though Herbert Marshall and Clifton Webb are predictably fine.
Original photos of the actors and films from Classical Hollywood sourced from the greatest photographers, collections, and archives. Managed by Neil Macready.
Anne Baxter in a publicity portrait for "The Razor's Edge" (1946), directed by Edmund Goulding and based on W. Somerset Maugham's 1944 novel of the same name. It received four Oscar nominations including Best Picture, with Anne Baxter winning Best Actress in a Supporting Role. https://t.co/8zbdf4Mr84

Praise for this book
"[Maugham's] excessively rare gift of story-telling . . . is almost the equal of imagination itself." -The Sunday Times (London)
"It is very difficult for a writer of my generation, if he is honest, to pretend indifference to the work of Somerset Maugham. . . . He was always so entirely there." -Gore Vidal
"Maugham remains the consummate craftsman. . . . [His writing is] so compact, so economical, so closely motivated, so skillfully written, that it rivets attention from the first page to last." -Saturday Review of Literature
