Filled with keen observations, autobiographical notes, and the seeds of
many of Maugham's greatest works, A Writer's Notebook is a unique and
exhilarating look into a great writer's mind at work. From nearly five
decades, Somerset Maugham recorded an intimate journal. In it we see the
budding of his incomparable vision and his remarkable career as a
writer. Covering the years from his time as a youthful medical student
in London to a seasoned world traveler around the world, it is playful,
sharp witted, and always revealing. Undoubtedly one of his most
significant works, A Writer's Notebook is a must for Maugham fans and
anyone interested in the creative process.
