but ca. 1933 – Huxley’s second novel portrays a world of lost souls

one like good music." – Saturday Review; “...a delerium of sense
enjoyment... a brilliant, entertaining satire.” – New York

Brave New World
[Fiction: SF, Utopian literature] Bantam

Brave New World
Revisited
[Non-fiction] Perennial Library paperback
#P23, 1st printing, 1965 – “In 1958, Aldous Huxley wrote what might be
called a sequel to his novel Brave New World, published in
1932... in a set of 12 essays. Taking a second look at specific aspects
of the future Huxley imagined in Brave New World, Huxley
meditated on how his fantasy seemed to be turning into reality,
frighteningly and much more quickly than he had ever dreamed.”

Eyeless in Gaza
[Fiction] Penguin Modern Classics
paperback, 1968 – This semi-autobiographical novel criticizes the dearth
of spiritual values in contemporary society. In non-chronological
fashion, the novel covers more than 30 years in the lives of a group of
upper-middle-class English friends. Taking its title from Milton’s
description of the blind Samson, it brilliantly explores the
intellectual conflicts of the first third of the 20th century.

Mortal Coils
[Fiction: Short story
collection]
Penguin [UK] paperback #1051, 1962 –
“This collection of five stories was
first published in 1922... Apart from their spontaneity, the
stories are related since they all tell of disappointed hopes. The best
known of them is undoubtedly ‘The Gioconda Smile’, a miniature murder
mystery which Huxley adapted into a highly successful play.”

Those Barren
Leaves
[Fiction] Avon paperback #G1059, ca. 1959 –
Aldous Huxley spares no one in his ironic, piercing portrayal of a group

self-professed lover of art, Mrs. Aldwinkle. Stripping the houseguests
of their pretensions, Huxley reveals the superficiality of the cultural
elite. First published in 1925. “Lavish, brilliant and sparkling...
Huxley has never assembled a better cast.” – Saturday Review
