Typically Maugham

Typically Maugham’s short stories, these are written in a style highly idiomatic and fluent, revealing the qualities of simplicity, lucidity, and euphony which the author sought to attain. Content to narrate an interesting story from his own unique angle of vision, he has a well known gift for creating interesting characters who reflect life’s ironies. He is successful in that even in these short stories. Maugham’s narrative persona is always a character interested in people, yet detached and somewhat clinical in his analysis of their actions and motives. His characters grow in tolerance and acceptance of human life, which is portrayed somewhat pessimistically. I love his short stories since childhood and these are no exception.
