"Antic Hay" offers a biting yet entertaining exploration of a generation grappling with the uncertainties of a rapidly changing world, capturing the essence of its time with Huxley's characteristic wit and insight.
Antic Hay is one of Aldous Huxley's earlier novels, and like them is primarily a novel of ideas involving conversations that disclose viewpoints rather than establish characters; its polemical theme unfolds against the backdrop of London's post-war nihilistic Bohemia. This is Huxley at his biting, brilliant best: a novel, loud with derisive laughter, which satirically scoffs at all conventional morality and at stuffy people everywhere, a novel that's always charged with excitement.
