Episode 11: "A Deal in Old Masters" by Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley wrote one of my favorite books known to man, Brave New World. Since I read it the first time in 9th Grade Honors English, I knew that it and Aldous Huxley would remain in my life forever. The amount of detail in his writing made it difficult to read back in that time, but as a nosy gal who needs to know everything about everyone, I thoroughly enjoyed it. He, along with my English teacher taught me that just because a book may seem long or complex, doesn’t mean we can give up on it. The stories that come are often worth the stumbling over words or rereading to capture the full scope of the setting. This story may be short, but it is intriguing and fun. It’s about a man who wants to buy pictures for his new Manor House, and the Art Dealer who knows just what he might like. I know he wrote this in the 1920’s but did he have to include a slur? Don’t worry, I took it out. That made me so uncomfortable I basically short circuited like a robot with water in its’ motherboard.
