The Diary of a Nobody (1892) created a cultural icon, an English archetype. Anxious, accident-prone, occasionally waspish, Charles Pooter has come to be seen as the epitome of English suburban life. His diary chronicles encounters with difficult tradesmen, the delights of home improvements, small parties, minor embarrassments, and problems with his troublesome son. The suburban world he inhabits is hilariously and painfully familiar in its small-mindedness and its essential decency. Both celebration and critique, The Diary of a Nobody has often been imitated, but never bettered. This edition features Weedon Grossmith's hilarious illustrations and is complemented by an enjoyable introduction discussing the book's social background and suburban fiction as a genre.]]> 3 0 false Sat Dec 06 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Oct 29 13:46:46 -0700 2008 Fri Dec 05 20:41:15 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 39762715 1787638 535856 0192833278 9780192833273 28 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175617009m/535856.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/535856.The_Diary_of_a_Nobody 3.65 216 5 0 false Wed Dec 10 03:05:50 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 03:08:09 -0800 2008
