Industry Reviews
"An entertaining satire on man's desire to live indefinitely....Huxley is one of the few English-speaking novelists now operating who actually appear to be decently educated. He is well read and is not averse to exhibiting the fact, always tactfully, always divertingly."
New Yorker - Clifton Fadiman (01/27/1940)
"This is a biting, witty, nasty book about L.A. and America that makes THE DAY OF THE LOCUST and THE LOVED ONE seem tame, and by a supremely intelligent writer. In this age of glamour and celebrity worship, this book is necessary reading, an antidote to the belief that youth, sexual vitality, beauty and happiness are all that matter, the supreme anti-Calvin Klein ad manifesto, and hilarious--albeit disturbing--reading."
Salon - Michael Korda (06/07/1999)
"The story is outrageously good, the essays are reasonable; together they make the peculiar combination of a Huxley novel."
Malin
"Mr. Huxley's elegant mockery, his cruel aptness of phrase, the revelations and the ingenious surprises he springs on the reader are those of a master craftsman; Mr. Huxley is at the top of his form in this respect."
