"Though Aleister Crowley served as the model for Oliver Haddo, it
is by no means a portrait of him. I made my character more striking
in appearance, more sinister and more ruthless than Crowley ever
was. I gave him magical powers that Crowley, though he claimed
them, certainly never possessed. Crowley, however, recognized
himself in the creature of my invention, for such it was, and wrote
a full-page review of the novel in "Vanity Fair," which he signed
'Oliver Haddo.' I did not read it, and wish now that I had. I
daresay it was a pretty piece of vituperation, but probably, like
his poems, intolerably verbose." -- W. Somerset Maugham
