Istill possess my 1967 Penguin paperback of Somerset Maugham's A Writer's Notebook. Ostensibly a distillation of his diary, kept over some 50 years, it was more interesting to the aspiring novelist for the gnomic advice Maugham offered on the craft of writing. "There's no need for the writer to eat a whole sheep to be able to tell you what mutton tastes like," is one sentence I underlined (among many). I cite this for two reasons: one to give a sense of Maugham's stature and reputation, even in the late 1960s, just a few years after his death; and, two, as a tribute to his astonishing longevity.

Answer:
In Maugham's work fact and fiction are so mingled that one could hardly distinguish one from other. The intensely close relationship between the fictional and the real became a characteristics traits in his work.
