 Amazon.com: Books: The Razor's Edge (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics)
This is a masterful adaptation of Maugham's tale of one man's search for enlightenment.
I loved this book and am delighted to have found Maugham through this book.
Maugham himself wanders in and out of the story, to observe his characters struggling with their fates.

 Powell's Books - Review-a-Day - Somerset Maugham by Jeffrey Meyers, reviewed by The Atlantic Monthly
Powell's Books - Used, New, and Out of Print
Despite his exile and his increasingly distraught public and private life, Maugham eventually received an honor from the Crown — but it was for "services to literature," rather than for literature itself, and this distinction represents all the difference in the world.
Even Gore Vidal, himself no stranger to the Mediterranean-villa milieu, was compelled to agree that Maugham's success was, in effect, in writing for people who did not have a clue about English as a medium for either tragedy or comedy.

 Powell's Books - Somerset Maugham by Jeffrey Meyers
"[C]onsidered as a portrait of the man and of his work, Meyers's Maugham is a good likeness.
He wrote constantly about social and sexual entanglements but, in a closeted age, was increasingly secretive about his own–loving men, wanting to love women.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Josipovici, Gabriel
Since then only a few stories have appeared, and the author has concentrated on the genre of the novel.
Mobius, who is a great philosopher, is peeling off layer after layer of argument to arrive at the empty centre of truth, whereas the narrator agonizes over the inability to say anything worthwhile until he hits upon the story of this impossibility exemplified by Mobius.
After this first volume of stories, which made Josipovici into an immediate celebrity (especially after the Somerset Maugham Award was withdrawn on account of his lack of a British passport at birth), Josipovici continued to write short fiction into the 1980s, producing a final collection called In the Fertile Land in 1987.
