Limbo (1920) is a collection of short fiction by English author
Aldous Huxley. Mostly satirical, Huxley’s novella, play, and four
short stories show a promising writer at the very beginning of his
career. In the novella “The Farcical History of Richard
Greenow,” Huxley satirizes the lives of his friends and
acquaintances at Eton and Oxford. Richard Greenow, a young writer,
spends his days as a politically engaged academic. At night,
however, he writes fiction for women, crafting stories and
serialized novels he sells to a prominent women’s magazine.
Finding success, he realizes there is a woman inside him, a writer
named Pearl Bellairs who is as much a part of his identity as
Richard Greenow is. When war breaks out, however, he must choose
between his principled pacifism and his fear of prison, a decision
that pits his two unique identities against one another. “Happily
Ever After,” a story set during the First World War, follows
Peter Jacobsen, “ a man with no nationality and no prejudices,”
as he travels across the Atlantic to visit Pemberton, his old
friend from Oxford and a renowned scholar of philosophy. As friends
and family converge on the stately Petherton home, a classic comedy
of manners ensues. Limbo is an early collection of fiction from
Aldous Huxley, presaging his satirical and dystopian novels with
their abundant wit and unsparing, unmatched ire. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of Aldous Huxley’s Limbo is a classic of English literature
reimagined for modern readers.
