About this listen
Autobiographical without being an autobiography, confessional without disclosing his private self, The Summing Up, written when Maugham was sixty-four, is an inimitable expression of a personal credo.
It is not only a classic avowal of a professional author's ideas about style, literature, art, drama and philosophy, but also an illuminating insight into this great writer's craft.
©2012 W Somerset Maugham (P)2012 Audible LtdI found it very thought provoking.
Well narrated
One of the books I shall enjoy listening to again
