Being a First Selection from the Literary Remains of George Boon, Appropriate to the Times Wells, H. G. (Herbert George) 1866-1946 creator text utu 2011 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Boon, The Mind of the Race, The Wild Asses of the Devil, and The Last Trump" by H. G. Wells is a work of literary satire published in 1915. Wells initially denied authorship, claiming the book was written by fictional character Reginald Bliss. The work explores whether humanity possesses a collective consciousness while simultaneously mocking literary figures—most notably Henry James—and even Wells's own cherished ideas. Through philosophical debates, pastiches, and concluding symbolic tales, Wells questions the nature of literature itself, blending serious inquiry with irreverent humor in what he called his "most frank and intimate book."
