As an acclaimed novelist, Miles Fanning is well used to the unwanted attentions of his fans as he goes about his daily business. Yet little prepares him for the determination of the gauche Pamela Tarn who resolves to enter not only his world, but also his bed. Initially repelled by the enormity of the age gap between them, Fanning vows never to acquiesce, and resorts to his most boorish behavior in an attempt to break the hold he unwittingly has over her. Yet as they are inexorably drawn together, they embark upon a tempestuous--and ultimately destructive--affair.

Rezensionen
"'After the Fireworks' is a major work and a turning point for Huxley, leading directly to Brave New World." - Gary Giddins

"The psychology of the two individuals is shrewdly mastered. . . . After the Fireworks displays on Huxley's part a rare but genuine if elusive sympathy as well as a sound perception of human shortcomings." - New York Times (on After the Fireworks)

"Brilliant. . . . I doubt if there is another living novelist as capable of taking in so much at a glance." - The Spectator UK (on After the Fireworks)

"Two or Three Graces is probably the thing nearest perfection of all that he has done." - New Statesman UK (on Two or Three Graces)

"It takes an artist of more than usual gifts to produce 137 quietly exquisite pages in order to lead up to such a delightfully ironical tiger-or-lady ending as that of 'Uncle Spencer.'" - Literary Review on (Uncle Spencer)

"Aldous Huxley endures as one of the most visionary and unusual minds of thetwentieth century." - Maria Popova, Brain Pickings
