Crome Yellow Illustrated Aldous Huxley

Crome Yellow is a chronicle of a party - it seems nothing happens but actually there is a battle of different intellectual conceits. The novel is a paragon of erudition and a trove of knowledge and concepts. Crome Yellow is Huxley's first novel. It has wit and snark. It overflows with pain and self-deprecation. It takes place in a place called Crome. It involves a bank holiday and there are references to oysters.
