Book summary

Originally intended as a screenplay, this long-lost novella by Aldous Huxley and Christopher Isherwood was written during their sojourn in California in the 1930s. A magical tale set in the 1920s, it provides an incisive look at Los Angeles during the early days of the movie industry.

First Line


A car is traveling along one of the roads which cross the Mohave Desert, skirting the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains.



Publisher Notes


Jacob Ericson is a shy, enigmatic, and somewhat inept ranch hand who works for crotchety Professor Carter and his crippled daughter, Sharon, on a ranch in California's Mojave Desert in the 1920s.
