On vacation from school, Denis goes to stay at Crome, an English country house inhabitated by several of Huxley's most outlandish characters--from Mr. Barbecue-Smith, who writes 1,500 publishable words an hour by "getting in touch" with his "subconscious," to Henry Wimbush, who is obsessed with writing the definitive HISTORY OF CROME. Denis's stay proves to be a disaster amid his weak attempts to attract the girl of his dreams and the ridicule he endures regarding his plan to write a novel about love and art. Lambasting the post-Victorian standards of morality, CROME YELLOW is a witty masterpiece that, in F. Scott Fitzgerald's words, "is too irnonic to be called satire and too scornful to be called irony."

评分傲慢與偏見之美麗新世界
评分an interesting little book, full of little stories which could well stand on their own. a typical english country house novel. but huxley put more of his own satirization in it. since i read another book of his, brave new world, before, some of the content reminded me of the book. so this first novel has laid foundation for his later book brave new world in describing a new society stripped of family system, social value, love for nature. but since it's huxley's first novel, words and plots do seem to be quite predictable. i put down the book several times before i came to the end. but it has its own merits and its significance in huxley's later career.
评分Huxley的第一部小說，筆觸青澀，但纔華橫溢，可以看齣美麗新世界的一些影子。人物對話生動親切，情節發展在意料之內，有些細節安排很令人驚喜。
