From the Inside Flap:
For almost half a century H.G. Wells was an international literary phenomenon; the only writer of his time who could command an audience with both Roosevelt and Stalin.
About the Author:
Unlike any other biographer of Wells, Coren paints a composite portrait of an extremely varied life set against the social and political background of the time. The Invisible Man delves deeply into the paradox that was H.G. Wells: the utopian visionary and staunch advocate of women's suffrage versus the misogynistic womanizer and vicious anti-Semite. This book exposes for the first time his disturbing views on "the Jewish problem," views that he defended vehemently even through the 1930s.
Michael Coren is Canada's premier man of letters and is a prolific literary critic both here and in England. He writes "Michael Coren's Diary" for Frank magazine. His most recent book is Aesthete, a collection of his Frank columns. Other books include the critically acclaimed biography, Gilbert: The Man Who Was G.K. Chesterton.
