About This Item
Bloomsbury, London, 1990. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. Illustrator: photographic. the edges of the text block are slightly darkened with age. Some handling marks and slight rubbing of the edges of the illustrated softcover binding. In the summer of 1937 the author of Brave New World travel to America to lecture in pacifism. The author conducts an unforgettably engaging tour through the twists of Huxley's fate in the US, – from celebrity to despair and isolation, through agonies of conscience and the quest for Innovision. Because a sudden fire in Hollywood destroyed Huxley's papers, Dunaway's task of reconstruction, calling on a wealth of interviews, is one fewwriters have attempted. Dunaway was able to obtain FBI documents on Aldous Huxley and a number of film scripts by him previously thought to be lost. – Front fold over blurb Full number line. Size: Trade Paperback.
