The English author Aldous Huxley (1894–1963) was the grandson of T.H. Huxley. After writing critical essays and symbolist poetry, he focused on the novel. Crome Yellow (1921), Antic Hay (1923), and Point Counter Point (1928) all portray social decadence. Brave New World (1932) depicts a nightmarish 25th-century Utopia. Additional works include Eyeless in Gaza (1936) and Ape and Essence (1948). In later years he was intensely interested in mysticism and Eastern philosophy. Huxley also published numerous short stories and essays.
