作者介紹
作者介紹 Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) was an English writer who spent the latter part of his life in the United States. Though best known for Brave New World, he also wrote countless works of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and essays. A humanist, pacifist and satirist, he wrote novels and other works that functioned as critiques of social norms and ideals. Aldous Huxley is often considered a leader of modern thought and one of the most important literary and philosophical voices of the 20th century. John O'Brien (1945-2020) was the founder of the Review of Contemporary Fiction and Dalkey Archive Press, where he published nearly a thousand books in over fifty languages. He held teaching positions at Illinois Benedictine College, the University of Illinois, and the University of Houston-Victoria, among others. He was awarded the Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Book Critics' Circle in 2011, and in 2015 was appointed Chevalier in the Ordre des Arts & des Lettres.
