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."
