"In the Valley of the Kings," faithful in myriad ways to Maugham's "life in the raw," will take its rightful place beside those works of genius — fiction, philosophy, theology — unafraid of axing into our iced hearts. These stories will endure for as long as our hurt kind remains to require their truth.
