A Man of Parts Résumé

A Man of Parts David Lodge

A MAN OF CONTRADICTIONS.
A MAN OF PASSION.
A MAN OF THE FUTURE.

Sequestered in his blitz-battered Regent's Park house in 1944, the ailing Herbert George Wells, 'H.G.' to his family and friends, looks back on a life crowded with incident, books, and women. Charting his unpromising start as a draper's assistant to his rapid rise to fame as a writer with a prophetic imagination, his immersion in socialist politics and his belief in and practice of free love, A Man of Parts is an astonishing novel of passion, ambition and controversy.

Lodge's robust approach, his insights, energy and humour, enable him to present HG as a man not only for his own times but also for ours -- Patricia Craig * Irish Times *
