Description
The Summing Up by William Somerset Maugham is an inimitable expression of his personal credo, offering insights into the craft of writing and the world of art. Written at the age of sixty-four, this work is both a reflection of the author's professional ideas on style, literature, drama, philosophy, and more, and a unique window into the mind of a great writer.
This autobiography-like work is notable for its restraint, avoiding personal disclosure while still providing a profound understanding of Maugham's artistic vision. It is an illuminating read for anyone interested in the creative process and the world of literature.
