After Many a Summer is Huxley’s great story of LA and California.

Its images from the thirties have inspired other great writers, Evelyn Waugh with The Loved One among them. Huxley’s bitter-sweet philosophy reads as fresh today as when he wrote it during the Spanish Civil War. Don’t fail to read this.

Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) is the author of the classic novels Island, Eyeless in Gaza, and The Genius and the Goddess, as well as such critically acclaimed nonfiction works as The Devils of Loudun, The Doors of Perception, and The Perennial Philosophy. Born in Surrey, England, and educated at Oxford, he died in Los Angeles.
