Boon, The Mind of the Race, The Wild Asses of the Devil, and The Last Trump;

by H. G. Wells

Overview

Boon is a 1915 work of literary satire by H. G. Wells. It purports, however, to be by the fictional character Reginald Bliss, and for some time after publication Wells denied authorship. Boon is best known for its part in Wells's debate on the nature of literature with Henry James, who is caricatured in the book. But in Boon Wells also mocks himself, calling into question and ridiculing a notion he held dear-that of humanity's collective consciousness.
