About this title

Review:

"A crystal clear and a deeply moving book... Unerringly, Huxley explores the layers of memory, affection and the decline of sexual attraction, asking the unanswerable question of what you do with love after it dies.... his deepest, funniest, most marvellous of novels" (Observer)

"Sardonically humorous, urbane and exquisite in style" (Scotsman)

"The play of ideas and theories, moral, psychological and sociological, is profuse and scintillating" (Times Literary Supplement)

"Eyeless in Gaza embodies Huxley's conclusions about life. Amusing, moving and brilliant, there is no doubting the sincerity and the beauty of this book" (Listener)

"Brilliant intellectual fireworks" (The Times)

Book Description:

Huxley's 'pacifist novel', considered by many to be one of his finest, the story of a man in crisis after a disastrous affair and the death of his best friend.
