Items related to Point Counter Point (Flamingo modern classics)
Huxley's fourth novel is both a portrait of the brilliant and frivolous intellectual and artistic circles of the 1920s, and an examination of the eternal question, "what is the happy, healthy life?" It contains portraits of D.H. Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield, Ottoline Morrell and Huxley himself.

Review:
"Huxley's style is at once dry and rich, intellectual and sensuous, scholarly and romantic. Point Counter Point is extremely funny with passages of rich and gorgeous farce" (Observer)
"As a piece of satire, often brilliant, sometimes wise, Point Counter Point is a monstrous exposure of a society which confuses pleasure with happiness, sensation with sensibility, mood with opinion, opinion with conviction and self with God" (Guardian)
From the Publisher:
