Description

Aldous Huxley, a nine-time nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature, authored this collection of short stories. The first one, “The Giaconda Smile,” was the basis for the 1948 film noir A Woman’s Vengeance. A womanizer is wrongly tried and convicted for the arsenic poisoning of his late wife. The true murderer has the “Mona Lisa” smile.
