About the Book
George and Weedon Grossmith's comic novel, "The Diary of a Nobody," presents the details of English suburban life through the anxious and accident-prone character of Charles Porter--whose diary chronicles his daily routine. The small minded but essentially decent suburban world he inhabits is both hilarious and painfully familiar.
"This novel purports to be the diary of Charles Pooter, a lower-middle-class individual of the mid-nineteenth century who lives at "The Laurels," Brickfield Terrace, Holloway. This address alone, simultaneously poignant and stifling, reverberates with blandly devastating irony--a note sustained at perfect pitch throughout the book." - AudioFile Review
