A Literary Culinary Journal
At a dinner party one should eat wisely but not too well, and talk well but not too wisely.–W. Somerset Maugham, 1896
W. Somerset Maugham was an English playwright, novelist and short story writer who also held a medical degree. Maugham could have been a surgeon, but chose to use his medical background to influence his writing, as it did in his first novel in 1897 Liza of Lambeth, which was a tale of working-class adultery.

W. Somerset Maugham was an English playwright, novelist and short story writer, who also had a medical degree and qualified as a surgeon. He did not practice medicine, but instead made us of his medical background in his writing, as in his 1897 novel Liza of Lambeth, which was a tale of working class adultery.
