I wonder why Somerset Maugham always gets judged by his worst works.
I wonder why the literary world is blind towards brilliance.
I wonder why the only Somerset Maugham book available in a fancy bookstore is always 'The Razor's Edge'.
I wonder why everyone's trying to force-feed it to us, when our tastes have already been defined by 'The Fall of Edward Barnard'.
I wonder why Edmund Wilson and the American world is trying to dismiss Maugham as "mediocre".
I wonder why Somerset Maugham has such a low reputation in Britain.
I wonder...
