Reading Crome Yellow | Alexandria
Read Crome Yellow by Aldous Huxley. Exploring a sharp-witted satire of 1920s intellectuals, Crome Yellow unveils how little human pretensions have changed. Huxley's debut novel skewers social media posturing before it existed, following a poet's misadventures among eccentric aristocrats. Its boldest insight? That performative intellectualism and the quest for viral fame are nothing new.
