Crome Yellow by Aldous Huxley is a satirical novel that follows a group of eccentric intellectuals and artists gathered at an English country estate. Through the eyes of the naive and aspiring writer Denis Stone, Huxley skewers the self-indulgence, pretensions, and idle philosophizing of the British upper class in the early 20th century. Filled with sharp wit, playful dialogue, and social critique, Crome Yellow serves as an entertaining yet insightful commentary on human nature, setting the stage for the deeper dystopian themes Huxley would later explore in Brave New World.
