H.G. Wells

A combination of social satire and science fiction, this novel presents the story of George Ponderovo, a young man who leaves college to help his Uncle Edward market a pleasant-tasting but bogus medical cure-all named Tono-Bungay. Reprint.

really cool book on the precipice of british modernism. genuinely very funny and has a lot of nuance in its criticism of british capitalism. the quap portion could've had more to it but still works well as a seeming riff on HoD. while i did enjoy significant portions of this, it made me much more interested in rereading HoD and The Good Soldier than interested in the book itself.
