Somerset Maugham has long been present in my reader and one of my best friends has been annoyingly insisting for me to read it so it was about time I succumbed to yet another of the authors you must read before you die, or whatever. Later, when I grew up and knew better, I recognised the pattern of good (i.e safe) authors allowed during the communist rule but nevertheless this doesn’t diminish the value of my grandmother’s library and the awe with which I observe it every time I visit.Īfter a rather long obsession with all sorts of contemporary Bulgarian authors, I decided on a shift back to something more classical and established. I remember as a child being impressed by the fact that she was such a devoted reader and that she had all the volumes of certain authors. Somerset Maugham are the huge and dusty volumes in my grandmother’s huge and dusty library.
