This story of 1920s intellectual life is inspired by classical music employing a large cast of characters who are compared to instruments in an orchestra each playing his separate portion of the larger piece. These characters are based on artists politicians and socialites of the time including D. H. Lawrence Katherine Mansfield Sir Oswald Mosley Nancy Cunard and John Middleton Murray. Philip Quarles Huxleyâ_x0080__x0099_s alter ego in the novel acts as the readerâ_x0080__x0099_s guide speculating upon the actions of the other characters. The novelâ_x0080__x0099_s title Point Counter Point is a reference to the flow of arguments in a debate and of music. Doubleday Doran hardcover
