Antic Hay
Antic Hay, novel by Aldous Huxley, published in 1923. A satire of post-World War I London intellectuals, the work follows Theodore Gumbril, Jr., the protagonist, and his bohemian friends as they drift aimlessly through their lives in search of happiness. Huxley’s witty and allusive narrative style provides a strong counterpoint to his nihilistic vision of humanity.
