Mini: Brave New World
from Balckwell's Books Hosted by Balckwell
Balckwell’s Books takes on Brave New World by Aldous Huxley in an attempt to offer a new spin on a much-discussed novel. Instead of delving into the specific make-up of the World State presented in the novel, I instead take a broader look at the way the book critiques Utopian thinking in general by coming to terms with the unlikable dissenters of Bernard Marx and John Savage, and understanding the satirical mode in which Huxley is writing. While Brave New World often feels that is has been done to death, I feel that there is always something new to be found when approaching a novel from a slightly different perspective.
