Description

It's time for Part 2 and Sydney has emerged from the depths of her research to teach us all about Aldous Huxley! In this episode we learn all about his past, what led to him writing Brave New World, and what parts of his history help us to interpret this classic work of satire! Tune in to hear about big babies, encyclopedias, Samson from the Bible, and (somehow) the Lakers. Then be sure to come back next week as we analyze this classic and tell you if it is worth your time!
