In 1960, Huxley was diagnosed with laryngeal cancer and, in the years that followed, with his health deteriorating, he wrote the Utopian novel Island,[REF] and gave lectures on "Human Potentialities" both at the University of California's San Francisco Medical Center and at the Esalen Institute.
The most substantial collection of Huxley's few remaining papers (following the destruction of most in a fire) is at the Library of the University of California, Los Angeles [REF].
