'''Eyeless in Gaza''' is a dense novel by
Aldous Huxley, first published in
1936. The title originates from a phrase in
John Milton's ''
Samson Agonistes''. Its chapters are not ordered chronologically. Aldous Huxley biographer
Sybille Bedford claims in her fictive memoir Jigsaw that the novel's characters Mary Amberley, a drug addict, and her daughter, were partly inspired by her own experiences with her
morphine-addicted mother and herself, known to Huxley because they were neighbors in the south of France.
