A review by zeltzamer
Collected Short Stories: Volume 3 by W. Somerset Maugham

dark reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

Maugham has the annoying habit sometimes of apparently thinking that acknowledging the cliche matters when you’re still doing the cliche, and a few of the stories are sort of risible in a way that I’m not sure was intentional (Giula Lazzari, His Excellency.) I’d say more hits than misses overall though.
