Set in London after World War I, Antic Hay by Aldous Huxley is a satirical jab at the disillusioned and directionless bohemian scene. The story follows Theodore Gumbril Jr. and his circle of intellectuals as they navigate love, relationships, and philosophy, often with a sarcastic and cynical edge. Huxley's witty prose exposes their self-absorption and lack of purpose, questioning societal norms and the search for meaning in a world shattered by war. Despite the comedic elements, the novel ultimately portrays a dark and nihilistic picture of the "Lost Generation" grappling with the aftermath of the devastating conflict.
