A moving, funny and masterful novel about the life of H.G. Wells - writer, thinker, lover and man of genius. Sequestered in his blitz-battered house on the rim of Regent's Park, as the second war he has lived through moves into its final phase, the ailing Herbert George Wells, 'H.G.' to his family and friends, looks back on a life crowded with incident, books, and women. Has it been a success or a failure? Unfolding this astonishing life story, David Lodge achieves a riveting portrait of a man who embodied as many contradictions as he had talents.
