"Point Counter Point" by Aldous Huxley is a compelling exploration of human relationships, intellectual pursuits, and societal complexities in the interwar period. Published in 1928, Huxley's novel delves into the lives of a diverse group of characters, intertwining their stories to create a rich tapestry of ideas and perspectives. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world, the narrative weaves through the lives of artists, intellectuals, and individuals grappling with the shifting moral landscape of the time. Huxley employs a mosaic-like structure, presenting a series of interconnected stories that touch upon themes of love, politics, science, and the clash of ideologies. The novel's title, "Point Counter Point," reflects its intellectual nature, mirroring the contrapuntal structure of a musical composition. Through a cast of complex characters, including writers, scientists, and socialites, Huxley engages in a profound exploration of the conflicts inherent in personal relationships and the broader societal challenges of the era. With keen wit and satirical insight, Huxley dissects the foibles of his characters, offering a critical commentary on the moral and philosophical dilemmas of the time. The novel provides a panoramic view of a society in flux, offering reflections on the clash between tradition and modernity. "Point Counter Point" stands as a testament to Huxley's literary prowess, displaying his ability to blend philosophical inquiry with a keen understanding of human nature. The novel remains a thought-provoking and relevant exploration of the complexities of human existence, making it a timeless work that continues to captivate readers with its intellectual depth and narrative complexity."

Point Counterpoint offers a series of papers and replies originally presented at a special session of the Second Language Research Forum, UCLA, March 1989. The focus of the papers is primarily the role of Universal Grammar in second language acquisition, though the agenda also includes discussion of other fundamental questions, viz., the explanatory potential of linguistic theory in native-language development. It may come as no surprise that the contributors and their respondents often present very different perspectives on the issues, for most of the authors were known in advance to hold contrasting points of view. Contributors (c) and Respondents (r) are: Wolfgang Klein (c)/Nina Hyams (r); Sascha Felix (c)/Jacquelyn Schachter (r); Suzanne Flynn & Sharon Manuel (c)/David Birdsong (r); Lydia White (c)/Robert Bley-Vroman (r); Peter Jordens (c)/Lynn Eubank (r); Jurgen Meisel (c)/Bonnie Schwartz (r); Sharon Hilles (c)/William O'Grady (r); Daniel Finer (c)/Margaret Thomas (r); Usha Lakshmanan (c)/Nina Hymans & Ken Safir (r).

The Ironic Temper and the Comic Imagination examines and illuminates the role which the ironic temper plays in the creation of complex literary comedy. The book focuses on ironic comedy, though not of the kind that is characterized by the surprises and shocks, the incongruities and reversals, of circumstantial irony. Circumstantial—or situational—irony cannot stand alone; it serves, for example, the aggressive functions of satire, or the irrational impulses of farce, or the benevolent, whimsical, or pain-defeating energies of humor.

There is a strong tradition of literary analyses of the musical artwork. Simply put, all musicology - any writing about music - is an attempt at making analogies between what happens within the world of sound and language itself. This study considers this analogy from the opposite perspective: authors attempting to structure words using musical forms and techniques. It's a viewpoint much more rarely explored, and none of the extant studies of novelists' musical techniques have been done by musicians. Can a novel follow the form of a symphony and still succeed as a novel? Can musical counterpoint be mimicked by words on a page? Alan Shockley begins looking for answers by examining music's appeal for novelists, and then explores two brief works, a prose fugue by Douglas Hofstadter, and a short story by Anthony Burgess modeled after a Mozart symphony. Analyses of three large, emblematic attempts at musical writing follow. The much debated 'Sirens' episode of James Joyce's Ulysses, which the author famously likened to a fugue, Burgess' largely ignored Napoleon Symphony: A Novel in Four Movements, patterned on Beethoven's Eroica, and Joyce's Finnegans Wake, which Shockley examines as an attempt at composing a fully musicalized language. After these three larger analyses, Shockley discusses two quite recent brief novels, William Gaddis' novella Agap gape and David Markson's This is not a novel, proposing that each of these confounding texts coheres elegantly when viewed as a musically-structured work. From the perspective of a composer, Shockley offers the reader fresh tools for approaching these dense and often daunting texts.
