Praise for this book

"[Maugham is] a great artist . . . a genius." -Theodore Dreiser
"[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"
