Title: A Man of Temperament - David Lodge - book
Summary :
A fervent defender of free love, HG Wells had a series of sexual adventures and misadventures that complicated his private life and thwarted his political ambitions. Lying ill in his London home during the 1944 Blitz, he reflects on his life filled with incidents, books, and women. With his clear, light, and funny pen, David Lodge shows us Wells as he is: one of the most prophetic writers of the 20th century. It took a writer at the height of his powers to recount this unparalleled destiny.
