But I shall never come as near to a deliberate attempt upon The Novel again as I did in Tono-Bungay.' 1 Thus wrote Wells in his autobiography. Following its completion in 1934 he embarked on a series of promising experiments in the novella form: The Croquet Player (1936), Star Begotten (1937), The Camford Visitation (1937) and The Brothers (1938). The novella as a literary genre was one he had hitherto left virtually untouched, apparently preferring the ampler scope of the novel.2 But he cannot have been unaware that during the years when he was working on long, discursive novels such as The ResearchMagnificent and Joan and Peter a new generation of writers was producing memorable fiction on a much tauter canvas. -

"I'm beginning to wonder if the political moment is much, much, more significant than most of us realize. The rules may have changed in ways no one would have predicted two years ago." "In 2008, American liberalism seemed poised for its comeback. The pendulum of Arthur Schlesinger's 'cycle of history' was swinging back toward a new progressive era. Obama would be the liberal Reagan." Much of the imagery of candidate Obama was distinctly and cloyingly messianic. At that time, indeed, the new electoral cycle seemed poised to restore Camelot.
