Summary: "Boon, The Mind of the Race, The Wild Asses of the Devil, and The Last Trump" is a literary collection comprising fragments and unfinished ideas by George Boon, edited and presented by Reginald Bliss, with an introduction by H.G. Wells, and published in the early 20th century. This work explores the life and literary mind of Boon, intertwining threads of humor, philosophical musings, and a critique of the literary scene of the time. It is notable for its insights into the functioning of the creative mind and the societal context that influences artistic expression. The opening of the work reveals a poignant commentary on George Boon’s death and the impact of World War I on his literary legacy, emphasizing the chaos and the sense of loss that pervaded the period. The narrator reflects on Boon's absence in a world that now seems consumed by wartime concerns, contrasting Boon's imaginative ambitions with the stark realities of life around him. The first chapter introduces Miss Bathwick as Boon's amanuensis, indicating his peculiar relationship with creativity and the public. As the narrative unfolds, complex discussions around Boon’s unfinished projects and the evolving nature of literature during a time of upheaval begin to take shape, setting the stage for an exploration of the "Mind of the Race."
