Point Counter Point.
London: Chatto & Windus 1928. First edition of Huxley's classic satiric novel. Octavo bound in full morocco by the Harcourt bindery gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands gilt ruling to the front and rear panels gilt inner dentelles stamp-signed by the Harcourt Bindery marbled endpapers all edges gilt. In fine condition. Point Counter Point's title is a reference to the flow of arguments in a debate and a series of these exchanges tell the story. Instead of a single central plot there are a number of interlinked story lines and recurring themes as in musical "counterpoint". As a roman à clef many of the characters are based on real people most of whom Huxley knew personally such as D. H. Lawrence Katherine Mansfield Sir Oswald Mosley Nancy Cunard and John Middleton Murry and Huxley is depicted as the novel's novelist Philip Quarles. It was named by Modern Library as one of the 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century. Chatto & Windus unknown
