The novel's title is a reference to the flow of arguments in a debate, and a series of these exchanges tell the story. Instead of a single central plot, there are a number of interlinked story lines and recurring themes. Rotunda: A Selection from the Works of Aldous Huxley, 1932. A collection of the fiction, poems, drama, essays, and travel writings of Huxley. With titles including: Uncle Spencer, Leda, The World of Light, Sabbioneta, and Meditation on El Greco, amongst others.
