~~ Book Review
Dan Schnabel, Stanford University
student; who is writing a series of”
bock reviews for the Nevada City
Nugget, this week chooses Aldons
B . Huxley's novel, “Antic Hay,’ for his
topic. His review follows: ;
ANTIC HAY;. Aldous Huxley -—
“Gumbril, Theodore Gumbril/ Junior,
B. A. Oxon, set in his oaken stall on
. the north side of the school chapel
Hand wondered about God—,pondered about God—, speculated about
God.’
You see, that is the chief business
of our hero, Gumbril—to wonder,—
to observe,—to speculate. Mr. Huxley, to be sure, allows Gumbril his
moments of the physical; but one
feels that this is only a sop, desingned to stimulate our Gumbril to pages and pages of the most interesting thoughis about women, the
things they do, the ways they: act,
and so on in the most fascinatingly
brilliant manner of Gumbril-Huxley.
The other characters too, are relegated to a similar role—that of thinking rather than physical performing.
Yes, most of the action in Huxley’s
novel is cerebral rather than physical. Only twice can I remember the
large -skeletal muscles coming into
action ,and that was when poor Mr.
Lypiatt, when goaded to a frenzy. of
rage, by the biting criticism of Mr.
Mercaptan, and the smug stupidity
of Mr. Boldero, became violent. The
plot, if one may call that rather nebulous association of days and evenings a plot, is really not much more :
than the necessary succession of incidents stimulating the mental apparatus of Huxley’s characters.
In the very first chapter, Mr. Theodore Gumbril, Junior, B. A. Oxon,
as he sits correcting a set of very
stupid, very adolescent papers on
“Pope Pius the Ninth and the Risorgimento’”’ (Gumbril was an instructor in an English preparatory
school), sees most plainly that it will
be impossible for him to continue as
he is. There were so many papers,
you see, and all of them so much
alike.
“Definitely, it couldn’t go on, it
could not go.on. There were thirteen weeks in he summer term,
there were thirteén weeks in the autumn, and eleven or twelve in the
spring; and then another summer of
thirteen.”’
At this point the reader can comprehend with greatest clarity, that.
it just can’t go on. And then Mr.
Gumbril ‘packs his two bags and
goes to his father’s house in London,
there to begin the New Life.
Now there is something positively
heroic about a man: who will do
something abesut-leaving the Broove
before it becomes too deep. How artfully Mr. Huxley enlists the sym pathy of the reader to the cause of
Theodore Gumbril! Who will not admire the man who actually does
chuck the nasty, stifling routine of
work to go bravely forth, unarmed
save for a tiny annuity -and-an-idea
(pneumatic trousers), instead of
just wishing, as we readers must?
Of course grading papers: is merely
Symbolic, that was because’ he
taught—had he been a physician it
would have been tonsils, had he
been a man of law, contracts. Yet
Theodore did not ever really have
to worry about money. Mr. Huxley
kindly saw to that by selling the
Gumbril Small Clothes idea to Mr,
Boldero. Which allowed Gumbril to
lend a life conductive to ideas, al-lowed him taxicabs and the Completé
Man, allowed him a life of contacts
with other interesting People who
also had ideas. For of course the novel is a story of ideas.
Now for the characters. Our old
friend Gumbril gives us’ an entree to
a circle of very engrossing people.
His fellow instructor, Shearwater,
who lived for the kidneys alone (until he met Mrs. Viveash), and built a
whole new world while riding on a
Stationary bicycle clad only in a
beach-clout;. Mrs. Viveash, ‘the lady
all the men had loved at one stage or
another of their careers, and who
was so bored she will bore you too;
Rosie, who married Shearwater as:a
man and found him a bookworm, but
later discovered some. clandestine
pastures that were much greener;
Gumbril . Senior, a delightful old
gentleman who is a rank failure as
&@ practical man and a thorough suo. cess as an architect and a philosg-~
pher; Mr. Lypiatt, the-poor-devii-whé"
~though-he-was-an-artist (how sad it
was when the beautiful bubble burst
—it was too cruel to think his own
beloved Myra Viveash had said,
“Like aposter advertising Cinzano”
Coleman, that bearded rascal, Coleman, carousing, — burly, drunken,
brilliant, Casanova Coleman; Emily,
Who was so yery wholesome and sincere that she humbled even the Complete Man; the snouty Mr. Mercaptan, who wrote.a column for the
Mirror and who always eventuall
found just the right word; Mr. .
