作者简介
William Somerset Maugham (1874–1965) studied medicine, but the quick success of his first novel, Liza of Lambeth (1897), started him on his lifelong literary career, during which he would become one of the most popular English authors since Dickens. His own life, however, was more tragic, shocking, and fascinating than any novel. After his adored parents died, he grew up in a miserable vicarage and suffered from a physical handicap of which he was ashamed. During his lifetime, Maugham would marry and divorce, be sent to Russia as a spy, and entertain such celebrities as Jean Cocteau, Winston Churchill, Noël Coward, the Aga Khan, and Ian Fleming at his Riviera mansion. Among his masterpieces are Of Human Bondage, The Painted Veil, The Razor’s Edge, and The Moon and Sixpence. In addition, such works as “The Letter” and “Rain” established Maugham as a gifted short story writer.
Benjamin DeMott (1924–2005) was professor of English and the Mellon professor of humanities at Amherst College. The author of two novels, he was best known for his cultural criticism in leading periodicals and in such books as The Imperial Middle: Why Americans Can’t Think Straight About Class and The Trouble with Friendship: Why Americans Can’t Think Straight About Race.
Maeve Binchy (1940–2012) was the New York Times bestselling author of Quentins, Scarlet Feather, Tara Road (an Oprah’s Book Club Selection), Circle of Friends, Light a Penny Candle, and many other novels.

评分周末，从长乐路往华山路上拐过去，在希尔顿酒店对面，有几间灯红酒绿的小酒吧，一律是黄木窗棂，门外放了整整齐齐的桌子、椅子。我们路过时，八点左右，几间酒吧除了洋酒缤纷外，客人寥寥无几。只有一家酒吧，触目地与马路对面尊贵的希尔顿酒店，做着有趣的对峙。10多位女人，...

评分拿到手的英文版纸张很薄字很小，读起来眼睛不太舒服导致陆陆续续读了好久。后半部分让我欣慰一点，但还是远不如刀锋。
