Antic Hay by Aldous Huxley
"Antic Hay" by Aldous Huxley is a novel published in 1923. Set in post-World War I London, it offers a biting satire of the aimless cultural elite adrift in turbulent times. The story follows Theodore Gumbril, a teacher who invents pneumatic cushion trousers while searching for love and meaning. To overcome his shyness with women, he adopts a bold disguise called "The Complete Man." Condemned for its cynicism and frank discussion of
sex, the novel was banned in Australia and burned in Cairo. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
