It's easy to remember how to pronounce his last name because it rhymes with "yawn." 1915's "Of Human Bondage," is, along with "The Razor's Edge," Maugham's most famous and acclaimed novel. In fact, "Bondage" was listed as one of the 100 best novels of the 20th century by the Modern Library. He doesn't seem to be widely read anymore, but his reputation is relatively intact for some reason. I've read three books by him and find him dull as dishwater. And this book is very long. I cheated and read the abridged version. My favorite review might be from Goodreads: "This book is about a guy with a club foot. His girlfriend's a b***h. S&M fans will be disappointed in the total lack of bondage. It's like a metaphor or something.
