"Ah, that's because you don't know what it's like to have faith. You've no idea how amusing and exciting life becomes when you do believe. All that happens means something; nothing you do is ever insignificant."

-Mrs. Wimbush, Crome Yellow (1921) by Aldous Huxley


Crome Yellow (1921) is Aldous Huxley's first novel, set in an English home dubbed Crome, with characters based on real people. Protagonist Denis attends a house party at the title location filled with memorable guests, ranging from an author who produces 1,500 words per hour to a flapper who is shockingly overt by the day's standards. What ensues is a masterfully told satire, revered by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Huxley's other contemporaries, one that has stood the test of time with its relatable themes.
