The Razor's Edgeby William Somerset Maugham
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Larry Darrell is a young American in search of the absolute. The progress of his spiritual odyssey involves him with some of Maugham's most brilliant characters — his fiancée Isabel whose choice between love and wealth have lifelong repercussions, and Elliott Templeton, her uncle, a classic expatriate American snob. Maugham himself wanders in and out of the story, to observe his characters struggling with their fates. Review:"[Maugham is] a great artist...a genius." Theodore Dreiser Review:"[Maugham's] excessively rare gift of story-telling...is almost the equal of imagination itself." The Sunday Times (London) Review:"It is very difficult for a writer of my generation, if he is honest, to pretend indifference to the work of Somerset Maugham....He was always so entirely there." Gore Vidal Synopsis:Larry Darrell is a young American in search of the absolute. The progress of his spiritual odyssey involves him with some of Maugham's most brilliant characters - his fiancée Isabel whose choice between love and wealth have lifelong repercussions, and Elliott Templeton, her uncle, a classic expatriate American snob.
