Since its publication in 1920, Aldous Huxleyâs âLimboâ has delighted readers with the ironic observations that would become a trademark of Huxleyâs later work. Huxleyâs first collection of short stories, contains seven visionary and satirical tales, which introduces themes that will go on to form the basis of his entire works. It includes: âFarcical History of Richard Greenowâ, âHappily Ever Afterâ, âEupompus Gave Splendour to Art by Numbersâ, âHappy Familiesâ (play), âCynthiaâ, âThe Bookshopâ and âThe Death of Lullyâ. The events and the protagonists of these stories, with their personalities falling between the explicit and the elusive, are also rich in parallels and points in common with the life of their author. In âThe Death of Lullyâ a woman is struck by breast cancer, the disease that killed the young authorâs mother to whom he was very close; and suicide as that of his brother, recurs in âEupompus Gave Splendour To Art By Numbersâ.
