Description
Island is a 1962 utopian manifesto and novel by English writer Aldous Huxley, the author’s final work before his death in 1963. Although it has a plot, the plot largely serves to further conceptual explorations rather than setting up and resolving conventional narrative tension.[1]
It is the account of Will Farnaby, a cynical journalist who is shipwrecked on the fictional island of Pala. Island is Huxley’s utopian counterpart to his most famous work, the 1932 dystopian novel Brave New World.
