In "In A Strange Land," while traveling in Turkey, a vacationer meets an extraordinary English woman. In "The Alien Corn," a young Jewish man devotes himself to the pursuit of music over the violent objections of his aristocratic family. As the family wrestles with its Jewish identity, the son flings himself headlong into the Bohemian world of performing artists. In "The Verger," when a lowly verger is fired because of his illiteracy, it turns out to be his lucky day. Critic Reviews: " "Charlton Griffin narrates with the ease of an urbane man of the world, but recreates Maugham's strange characters with pleasure and gusto. While his narrative voice is graceful and compelling, his characterizations are acutely individual, even bizarre. Their voices linger in our memory long after the tape is off." (AudioFile)
