Fake artists, third-rate poets, pompous critics, pseudo-scientists, con-men, bewildered romantics, and 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, in what \u003cem\u003eThe \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e called \"a delirium of sense enjoyment!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAldous Huxley \u003c\/strong\u003e(1894-1963) was an English writer who spent the latter part of his life in the United States.
