In a chintz-covered armchair by a curtained window sits a long-limbed man with a mass of wavy hair, in a light tweed jacket and tie, a sheaf of papers on his lap; he holds a rolled magazine a few inches from his eyes and reads with his head tilted. The long face and the near-sighted way of reading recall Aldous Huxley, who lived in Los Angeles from 1937; the identification rests on resemblance alone.
