"A bore is a person who drills a hole in your spirit... through and through till he pierces to the very quick of your being."
-Aldous Huxley, Two or Three Graces and Other Stories (1926)
Two or Three Graces and Other Stories (1926) by Aldous Huxley is a collection of four stories including the aforementioned title as well as Half Holiday, The Monocle, and Fairy Godmother. The story Two and Three Graces comprises most of this edition and follows the life of Grace Wilkes who attaches herself to, not two or three as the title suggests, but four different men. More of a novel than short story, the title story offers insights into the human experience as only Huxley can detail and features one of Huxley's most intriguing characters. This collection is for fans of early twentieth century literature and the inimitable Aldous Huxley.
