London life just after World War I, devoid of values and moving headlong into chaos at breakneck speed - Aldous Huxley's Antic Hay, like Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, portrays a world of lost souls madly pursuing both pleasure and meaning. Fake artists, third-rate poets, pompous critics, pseudo-scientists, con-men, bewildered romantics, cock-eyed futurists - all inhabit this world spinning out of control, as wildly comic as it is disturbingly accurate. In a style that ranges from the lyrical to the absurd, and with characters whose identities shift and change as often as their names and appearances, Huxley has here invented a novel that bristles with life and energy, what the New York Times called "a delirium of sense enjoyment!"

The A-N-T-I-C, yes that's the book for me.

by   breakbeet ,  Jan 17, 2008
Pros: Hotwired plot. No utopia, but is just as profound. Artsy.
Cons: Happily ever after? pah.
The Bottom Line: This book is a sharply realistic, comprehensive look at the pros and cons of being a homo sapien. The wrong book is attributed with flinging open the gates of perception.
Review: The two other books I've read by Aldous Huxley, Brave New World and Time Must Have A Stop, seem to suggest that mankind is on a tramline for destruction, but there are a couple stations at which we can reroute our path. Antic Hay, beneath all of its hazy ...
