Counter Point : Huxley ' s Tragi - Comic Performance of the “ Human Fugue ”

I am very busy preparing for and doing bits of an ambitious novel, the sum of which will be to show a piece of life, not only from a good many individual points of view, but also under its various aspects such as scientific, emotional, political aesthetic, etc. The same person is simultaneously a mass of atoms, a physiology, a mind, an object with a large shape that can be painted, a cog in the economic machine, a voter, a lover, etc. etc. I shall try to imply at any rate the existence of the other categories of existence behind the ordinary categories employed in judging everyday emotional life. It will be difficult, but interesting. (Letters 27475.)
