## Description

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, literarture, art, drama and philosophy, but also an illuminating insight into this great writer's craft.
