Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

but if doctors were able to effectively treat all these children with growth hormone , they would not eliminate short stature but rather create a new crop of short kids -- there will always be someone in the short range of normal .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

`` where to draw the line and decide whom to treat with growth hormone is a dilemma we 're struggling with right now , '' says pediatric endocrinologist susan rose of the university of new mexico medical center in albuquerque .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

the english novelist aldous huxley , accompanied by his wife , maria , arrived in america in 1937 to spend a few months lecturing on pacifism , a `` lost cause '' subject that had gripped huxley 's interest in the few years preceding world war ii .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

huxley spent the last 25 years of his life in and around hollywood , writing , while there , a number of screenplays for films that have become classics , like `` pride and prejudice `` and `` jane eyre . ''


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

he also wrote a book that became influential in the 1950s and '60s , `` the doors of perception , '' huxley 's account of his own experiences with hallucinogenic drugs .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

in `` huxley in hollywood , '' david king dunnaway has written an account of these american years .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

as his publisher notes , dunnaway has written two distinct books : one is the story of huxley 's intellectual and personal life in california .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

in the second , running as a sort of counterpoint to his biographical narrative , dunnaway has filled up many of his nearly 500 pages with brief sketches of the lives and careers of the many new friends huxley made in hollywood .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

in the long run , these background interruptions to the main story become tedious and add little to our knowledge of huxley .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

although very nearly blind , the huxley who began living in california in 1938 struck many as a truly awesome figure .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

in america , huxley turned more and more to mysticism , and it was perhaps to be expected that in time he would turn his attention to the newly discovered hallucinogenic drugs .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

huxley made no bones about why he took these drugs when he said that `` it 's a very salutary thing to realize that the rather dull universe in which most of us spend most of our time is not the only universe there is . ''


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

in short , huxley eventually found the real world to be lacking in the phantasmagoric images he encountered in his drug trips .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

it is fair to ask that if huxley had possessed normal vision , would he have preferred this inner world ?


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

it seems that huxley 's ever-growing preoccupation with the state of mind produced by the drugs resulted in the steady deterioration of his novelistic talent .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

there is little doubt that huxley 's reputation has faded : the current trading value of his stock on the literary exchange is not very high .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

except for his novel of the future , `` brave new world , '' which has become a staple in the american high school curriculum , few of his nearly 60 books are read much any more .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

when he came to america in 1937 , huxley was perhaps the best known among the serious english novelists of his generation .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

however , even before his death in 1963 -lrb- the same day as john f. kennedy -rrb- , huxley 's fame had been eroded sufficiently to make it clear that there were at least three of his contemporaries who had displaced him in the critical canon : his old friend d. h. lawrence , james joyce and virginia woolf .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

except in a single area , dunnaway 's account does not differ significantly from the long and excellent life of huxley written in 1973 by his close friend the english novelist sybille bedford .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

although dunnaway has interviewed many of huxley 's friends , the bedford life presents us with a far more sympathetic , warmer huxley .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

indeed , the huxley in bedford 's book emerges as a much more confused man than does the one in dunnaway 's pages .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

there is not much that is new here about the famous people that huxley knew in these years .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

dunnaway attempts to make much of maria huxley 's lesbianism , almost the only area in which he offers fresh material .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

my set of the advance proofs of `` huxley in hollywood `` contains many passages concerning maria 's lovers expunged by dunnaway 's publishers for , presumably , legal reasons .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

no such censoring was required , however , for the names of the women in aldous ' life .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

as for maria 's love life , these revelations are mildly interesting , but fail to tell us much about huxley or what he thought about it .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

`` huxley in hollywood `` is marred by factual errors : bertolt brecht was not at any time married to salka viertal ; howard hawks ' film `` sergeant york `` is not `` an anti-nazi blockbuster '' but is about an american pacifist in world war i ; the kurt weill and paul green play `` johnny johnson `` is a work of 1936 , not 1939 as dunnaway would have you infer from his text .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

even by planting the idea in david selznick 's mind , it would appear insane to describe huxley 's participation in the writing of the `` jane eyre `` script in these terms : `` while not bronte 's sort of novelist , he spoke like an english don . ''


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

especially puzzling would be the microwave oven , a truly new technology that has become so commonplace and easy to use that companies now sell microwavable snacks that little kids can nuke for themselves .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

to dramatize such fears , dystopian literature flourished and reached an apotheosis of sorts in aldous huxley 's `` brave new world , '' which depicted an ominous society of genetic manipulation and drug-hazed consumerism .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

like the rest of the book , huxley 's vision of home technology depended heavily on sensuality .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

despite an emerging japanese interest in the electronic bathroom , the only widely used modern items that echo huxley 's lush vision -- apart from potpourri , which continues to exert its low-tech charm -- are cheesy gadgets such as electric back-massagers and `` aroma disks '' that play on mail-order scent diffusers .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

central to the story is a nursery whose walls can create convincing illusions of reality , complete with sounds and smells -- an immersion experience akin to huxley 's feelies .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

much of the happylife home is deliberately cartoonish -lrb- the dining-room table cuts food into bite-size pieces , for instance -rrb- , but bradbury 's nursery can be seen as the ultimate in a new technology called virtual reality .


Question: when did aldous huxley write , `` brave new world `` ?

bradbury takes it one step further and creates a world so enveloping that no gloves or goggles are needed : the viewer is swallowed up by the illusion .
