Summary
Like his protagonist's physical deformity, W. Somerset Maugham's homosexuality was a constant source of anxiety, alienation, and shame. He termed his masterpiece "not an autobiography, but an autobiographical novel; fact and fiction are inexorably mingled; the emotions are my own." By combining residual Victorian values with the early twentieth century's mood of irony and despair, Maugham offers a timeless view of emotional isolation and the possibility of redemption through self-knowledge and maturity.
