11:35Now Playing"I would certainly like to have written a very good novel. I don't think I ever have." - Aldous Huxley
John Lehmann, the poet and editor of London Magazine, interviews Aldous Huxley about his illustrious and varied writing career. Is Huxley an educator or an entertainer? Is he a novelist or an essayist? Is his post-war focus on non-fiction evidence that he has lost faith in the novel as an art form? Does it surprise him that so many of the forecasts he made in Brave New World have already come to pass in reality?
