A review by kjcharles
Antic Hay by Aldous Huxley

Huxley's first book, a satire of dreadful people in the early 1920s. Flashes of brilliance in description don't make up for the plotlessness, or several lengthy and excruciating stretches of thinly disguised authorial hobbyhorse-racing, and it's full of misogyny including a nasty victim-blaming rape scene, racism, and antisemitism. Deeply avoidable.
