Maugham ‖ pay homage to the rational novelist

William Somerset Maugham

As for Maugham, I probably know him as much as the masses, with the origins of the book The Moon and Sixpence

At that time, I didn't immediately do a book review after reading it, but I don't know why, I never had the courage to read it a second time, just like Maugham" I don't want to read the book a second time, I know that reading the second time will have some deeper insights."

With memory, I can tell you that this is a good book, in my heart, it is not even inferior to Anna Karenina, the two books are not up and down, each has its own advantages, but for the style or the appeal of the selection of materials, I have to admit that the moon will be better

Let's talk about Maugham. I personally prefer his autobiography, although Maugham said that he was reluctant to express all his ideas, but when he read it, he could still feel Maugham's active thinking and insights, and I could see that Maugham wrote very well

"No one dies immediately after the suicide note is made"

truly. Maugham died twenty years after writing his autobiography, and the sentence had an unexpected sense of humor. To me, Maugham's style is a little different from his personality

As far as moon is concerned, although the writing is full of irony, the overall language style is more humorous, including his dialogue, and even some tendencies to mention his homosexuality (probably my cp brain), but in the autobiography, these humors or humor are not properly reflected

This also shows his greatness. He can integrate himself into the role, to respond to the character characteristics and language style of the character, but in the ego, he retains the real idea, and I also recommend the "suicide note" "Make the Soul Comfortable", you can read mr. Maugham, who is more angular behind the barrier, although he is a bit "arrogant" to say that he did not give his ideas in full, but the amount of information is also quite large (this book has some book lists recommended, you can read a travelogue in his Spain, because he said that he wrote very gorgeous, and even regrettably gorgeous)

Maugham was a playwright, and some of his plays made waves at the time, and in Blade, he also mentioned that when he became famous for his writing, many unfamiliar friends began to connect, including the male friend (who forgot the name www), which I prefer as a small irony, but this is indeed a social reality

I regret not having seen his plays, but I know a little bit about it in my autobiography, more about marriage, and I can't feel the regret of sitting in the theater and enjoying the actor's performance!

My understanding of Maugham should still rest on abandoning the doctor

Mr. Maugham had a tragic childhood, his parents died, he himself suffered from stuttering, and he lost friends due to illness, so his keen eyes and sharp tone were not necessarily talented

Maugham's marriage I would love to know a few points. Many of the themes of his novels are derived from marriage. I'm curious about how he captures the most sensitive (and not one) point in marriage to get people into the story without being boring. As far as I know, he is married and has raised a daughter, but he is also gay, which is really surprising and surprising to me

Because it is strange for such an extreme pessimist to accept a person.

Maugham's collection of short stories was a great effort, and I read it intermittently for nearly a month before I read it completely, and the material of the articles was not limited, some of them were travelogues, or marriages, or chats with friends

I personally like the kite article, the choice of childhood and love

"He wasn't willing to give her living expenses just because she broke his kite"

As for Maugham, I don't think he can yet describe it as "great."

He's "rational."

He has a clear goal in life, and even in the face of young people who have no goals, he will feel disgusted, or irritable, and he will plan his life like a nine-square grid, square, no more, no less

But his journey was very bumpy, which was also the basis for his natural description of the lives of the upper and lower classes

His writings are not like Swift, where every word is irreplaceable, nor like Shakespeare, who has a high theatrical talent and ability, but his writing is light and natural, he is not vulgar, but easy to understand, so people like it

I can't accurately describe him as a person, or a book, or a life

All I can say is that he was a free writer.
