“He will modulate from one to the other”

Aldous Huxley’s Point Counter Point can be read in different ways. You can read it for the ideas the characters discuss. You can read it for the music-like forms used in narrating their interactions (including debate, seduction, betrayal, and murder). Or you can try to work out which of Huxley’s associates inspired which characters. The Modern Library chose this novel as one of the 100 best in English from the 20th century, and it joins the US public domain in 21 days.
