The Razor’s Edge

The Razor’s Edge • W. Somerset Maugham

⭑ 6.8 Stars

Similar to my review of Le Grande Meaulnes, I came back to this book more than a decade after first reading it, but unlike the former, Maugham’s novel stood the test of time. This is an incredibly “easy” read that doesn’t require much cerebral activity, but once completed feels as if you’ve genuinely watched the course of entire lives play out start to finish - that in particular is Maugham’s genius and the reason I’ll continue his body of work soon.
