Collected Short Stories Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley is a master of the short story. Its form and requirements provide a perfect vehicle for his iconoclastic temperament, his use of satire and irony, his deep sense of tragedy. From that subtle study of a suspected murderer, 'The Gioconda Smile', to the biting derision of social and artistic pretensions in the 'The Tillotson Banquet', each story in this collection possesses a unique and sparkling vitality.
