I just read Cakes and Ale myself last year, and your post brought it back, in all the novel's glittering bitchiness. For a writer, it is simultaneously tonic and terrifying.

Maud, I loved this post - possibly because I just read that passage a month or so ago. "No one who for years had observed his indefatigable industry could deny that at all events he deserved to be a genius." Oh the ignominy of plodding production.

Maugham is a favorite, and at least partly, it's for the unflinching (and impersonal) cruelty of his observation.
