Today’s other 50th anniversary: the passing of C. S. Lewis « The Greenroom: "Actually, this is not the only literary connection to this particular date. Both C. S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley died on November 22nd, 1963, and both deaths were understandably overshadowed by the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Huxley is most remembered for Brave New World, arguably the best of the dystopian novels expressing the dangers of science combined with totalitarianism in the vain pursuit of human/social perfection."
