cnyreader 's review for:
Eyeless in Gaza
by Aldous Huxley
This is the story of Anthony Beavis's life, from childhood to his 40's. It's set up in chapters of different episodes in his life, jumping forward and backward in time. While I usually find this very distracting, it wasn't as difficult to follow as I expected. There is a lot of philosophy, sociology and intellectualism in this book. I found it accessible, though, instead of being too heavy or over my head.
This is the journey of a young man making sense of loss and love and all that encounters on his journey into adulthood. He fights in WWI and has affairs and all the while, is trying to make sense of his existence and what it all means. This doesn't ordinarily sound appealing, but I liked being privy to Anthony's growth and self-discovery. It gave me a lot to think about.
Food: Moroccan couscous served with spiced wine. A little different, with lots of chewy bits, and wine to help savor it.
