The Diary of a Nobody
George Grossmith, Weedon Grossmith
The book is a comic masterpiece presented as the fictitious diary of Mr. Charles Pooter, a middle-aged, anxious, and accident-prone city clerk with significant social aspirations, living in suburban London. Over a period of fifteen months, the self-regarding Pooter chronicles the hilariously trivial details, minor embarrassments, home improvements, and daily ups and downs of his life with his wife, Carrie, and their feckless son, Lupin. The work is a perfectly pitched satire on the class system and the inherent snobbishness of the late Victorian middle class, making Pooter an immortal comic character.
