"After the Fireworks is a major work and a turning point for Huxley, leading directly to Brave New World." --Gary Giddins

After the Fireworks is a collection of three lost classic pieces of short fiction by Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World, now available as a Harper Perennial Olive Edition.

In the title novella, set in Rome, a renowned novelist sets out on a walk down Via Condotti toward the Spanish Steps when he encounters a mysterious and beautiful young American admirer of his work. He discovers she shares a name, in addition to conspicuous personality traits, with a character from his most celebrated book. Both are irresistibly drawn into a dangerous affair set against the backdrop of the Italian capital. First published one year before he wrote his classic Brave New World, After the Fireworks is Huxley at the height of his powers. This collection also includes Uncle Spencer, the story of an aging World War I veteran's quest for his lost love he met in a prison during the war, and Two or Three Graces, the tale of a passionate and destructive writer's abusive relationship with an impressionable, bourgeois housewife.

This book part of a special series from Harper Perennial called Olive Editions--exclusive small-format editions of some of our bestselling and celebrated titles, featuring beautiful and unique hand-drawn cover illustrations. All Olive Editions are available for a limited time only
