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