In his first collection of fiction Aldous Huxley skewers Oxford, art, war and the literary life. Richard Greenow finds that he is two people, one of them a lady novelist; soldiers home on leave walk a Dutch garden; an essay mocks art by numbers; and the volume closes with a short play and stories of the death of Lully and a bookshop.
