A Man of Parts

Sequestered in his blitz-battered Regent's Park house in 1944, the ailing Herbert George Wells looks back on a life crowded with incident, books and women. Has it been a success for failure? Once he was the most famous writer in the world, now he is a man deserted by his readers and depressed by the collapse of his utopian dreams. He recalls his life as a socialist, an acclaimed novelist and a feminist womaniser.
