A Man of Parts
Well, I can't say I am a fan of H.G. Wells after reading David Lodge's bio fic or is it ficbio? In any case I'm a fan of Lodge's and the way he uses the fiction "voice" to tell the comprehensive story of a complex - aren't they all - troubled, highly sexual, or so he claims - man.
In thinking of the drink to recommend with this, I was stumped. Wells despite his numerous affairs seems to be something of a cold dispassionate fish. The best I can come up with is the Time Machine:
2 oz ice wine
2 oz vodka
splash of vermouth
drizzle of lemon
serve over ice
and though the book becomes bogged down towards the end and I stopped caring about his numerous, seemingly chaste affairs Lodge is a master of bio/fiction and this is worth a read.
