AB Point Counter Point, Aldous Huxley’s experiment with the ”musicalisation of fiction” (PCP384, –References to Point Counter Point will be abbreviated hereon in PCP–) was publishedin 1928, the end of a decade of post-war trauma, conflicting ideologies, proliferating scientifictheories, new technologies and reckless hedonism. These amalgamated aspects found theirexpression in the novel’s cubist montage, contrapuntal orchestration and cynical tone. Iargue that, in tandem with the experimental poetry and prose of Huxley’s contemporaries,Point Counter Point set the tone for a new literary culture on both sides of the Atlantic.This approach accounts for the novel’s experimental techniques and design, starting fromthe ”jungle of noise” (65) metaphor.
