Antic Hay
by Aldous Huxley
When inspiration forces Theodore Humbril to design some kind of pneumatic pants to alleviate the discomfort of a sedentary life, he decides that it is time to quit teaching and seek his status in the metropolis. He soon finds himself in the hedonistic world of his friends Mercaptan, Lipyatt and the carefully civilized Mira Vivash, and their burning ambitions begin to lose relevance... Brutally funny and deliciously prickly, the novel personifies the brilliant neuroticism of the twenties.
