Selina Hines recently published a biography on "the secret lives" of this author. The author's lovers Alan Searle and Gerald Haxton probably disapproved of the statement that, "the homosexual has small power of invention, but a wonderful gift for delightful embroidery." One of this author's short stories, the basis of the silent film Sadie Thompson, tells of a missionary's attempt to save a fallen woman who has moved to Pago Pago.  He reused elements from that short story "Rain," in a novel about the painter Charles Strickland who becomes blinded by leprosy after he moves to Tahiti. The collection The Casuarina Tree includes such stories as the "Before the Party" and "P and O." For 10 points, name this author of The Moon and Sixpence and Of Human Bondage.
