The touching novel, which has entranced readers since it was first published in 1976, has since raised questions, many unanswered, about how this quaint and engaging tale of a young, orphaned boy could have been written by a man whose life was so overtly rooted in hatred.

Set in Italy—minus the culture—Huxley's story mocks those who see themselves as the cultural elite, but who are actually little more than pretentious poseurs. The reader is merely an observer in the conversation of characters who seek to find importance and meaning in their lives.
