Description
Mortal Coils is a collection of five short fictional pieces written by Aldous Huxley in 1921. "The Gioconda Smile" is a mixture of social satire and murder story, which Huxley later adapted into a film called A Woman's Vengeance (1948). "Permutations Among the Nightingales" is a play concerning the amorous problems encountered by various patrons of a hotel. "The Tillotson Banquet" tells of an old artist who was thought to be dead, and is "rediscovered"; a not entirely successful honorary dinner is organised for him. "Green Tunnels" is about the boredom of a young girl on holiday with her family.
She develops a romantic fantasy, and is ultimately disillusioned. "Nuns at Luncheon" is a second-hand story told of a nun falling in love.
The story mocks the writer's process, a concept Huxley used in his novel Crome Yellow.
