Antic HayAmazon Digital Services LLC - KDP Print US, 2019 M05 17 - 350 páginas ONE of the most brilliant and "provocative" of the young after-war novelists is Aldous Huxley. With "Crome Yellow" he threw his individual top hat into the ring of militant satire. In "Antic Hay" he continues his fretful and ingenious gambols, which yield much laughter, on a rather shrill pitch. If his were really "goat-feet dancing the antic hay," if the blood of a satyr urged him instead of the mind of a satirist, we should have had a bigger book out of him. But he has the usual scunner of his generation against everything else, before or outside his generation. He affects an utter contempt for all persons in authority, all the fogies and hypocrites and respectable ones- and is totally unable to ignore them. --The Independent, Volume 111 |
