From the salons of Oscar Wilde's decadent London to the modern bohemian radicalism of Bloomsbury, Aldous Huxley's Eyeless in Gaza offers us a portrait of early twentieth century England through the lens of Anthony Beavis, a rakish upper-class Englishman whose story loosely parallels that of the author's own life.
Written shortly after Brave New World, Huxley's Eyeless in Gaza is both a novel of ideas and a fictionalized memoir offering a more intimate look into the forces that shaped Aldous Huxley as an author.
