Book description
Through the pages of Point Counter Point – lightly disguised and readily distinguishable – move D. H. Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield and her husband John Middleton Murry, and Aldous Huxley himself.
It is a portrait of a widely insecure period and as such it is merciless – and without equal. The characters – flirts and failures as well as those clearly on the ascendant — buzz and glitter endlessly. Here is a novel written from the very centre of that brilliant, frivolous bubble os the twenties which was so soon to burst, giving way to a much more sombre scene.
