Ted Morgan. Somerset Maugham. Biography

When Maugham drew up his will, he asked anyone in possession of his letters to destroy them. He also instructed his executor, S. Curtis Brown, not to assist anyone who attempted to publish his biography.
Ted Morgan achieved the impossible: the writer's executor not only authorized the publication of this book but also provided the author with additional documents and facts that Maugham had concealed from everyone for many years. The result of Ted Morgan's years of work is in your hands: a mercilessly truthful and impeccably objective life story of the "prudent snob," as W. Somerset Maugham called himself.
