Select Conversations with an Uncle

''Select Conversations with an Uncle'', published in 1895, was H.G. Wells's first literary publication in book form.〔''Select Conversations with an Uncle'' was preceded by two textbooks published in 1893: ''Text Book of Biology'' (Clive, 2 vols.) and (with R.A. Gregory) ''Honours Physiography'' (Hughes).〕 It consists of reports of twelve conversations between a fictional witty uncle〔Based on Alfred Williams, who had been a teacher in the West Indies and whom Wells knew briefly when in 1880 he became briefly the head of a village school at Wookey, in Somerset, before his credentials were discovered to be fraudulent. Wells later said that Williams "gave me a new angle from which to regard the universe. I had not hitherto considered that it might be an essentially absurd affair, good only to laugh at." Norman and Jeanne Mackenzie, ''H.G. Wells: A Biography'' (Simon and Schuster, 1973), pp. 35, 105.〕 who has returned to London from South Africa with "a certain affluence," as well as two other conversations (one on aestheticism that takes place in a train, titled "A Misunderstood Artist," and another on physiognomy, titled "The Man with a Nose").
==Themes==
The principal themes of the conversations between a Wells-like character named "George" and his uncle are fashion, the inevitability of human "discomfort" due to passing social movements, the resemblance of ideals to interior decoration, the art of being photographed, the social basis of taste in art and music, the state of being engaged, the agony of having to listen to a near neighbor playing the piano, tricycles, social novels, and the effects of marriage.
