“A Writer’s Notebook” was published in 1948. It contains the accumulation of 74 years of observations and conclusions by a master of English prose. Somerset Maugham died at 91 years of age. He had a greater longevity than Henry James with whom he resembles in the range of their writing ventures. Novels, short stories, stage plays, autobiography, travelogues, literary criticism – both wrote in the full gamut. Neither ventured into poetry. Of the two James is rated higher by academics; economically, Maugham made more money, lots more. We have James’ note books by accident. He died before he could assign them to the flames as he had done previously with personal papers. Maugham’s “Notebooks” is a deliberate offering to the public.“A Writer’s Notebook” is divided by years beginning in 1894, ending in 1944 The early years are filled with platitudes about humanity. Most of the following sections, written by now an acclaimed author, consists of character sketches and anecdotes drawn from life. Not all the entries remained inert. Three provided the foundation for his most famous short story “Rain” which in turn Hollywood converted into a movie. In one place a remark illuminates the struggle he took to compose his material. “One fusses about style. One tries to write better. . . . One sweats ones’ guts out . . . If you can tell stories, create character, devise incidents, and if you have sincerity and passion, it doesn’t matter a damn how you write.” Maugham himself had an abundance of those four qualities.So far I haven’t seen a photo of a smiling Maugham. The one I have seen display a bit grumpy countenance. “A Writer’s Notebook” shows otherwise. He appreciated the ironic in human behavior as a number of the entries demonstrate. I’m surprised he didn’t convert more of his anecdotes into stories. His character studies are lessons in themselves. If nothing else, the book displays a wide ranging, keenly observant intellect. He writes of himself as well as others with as much forthright honesty as anyone can. In print Maugham proves himself a damn good conversationalist.
