"The Diary of a Nobody" is a humorous novel written by George and Weedon
Grossmith. It follows the daily lives of Charles Pooter, a London clerk, his
wife Carrie, and their son William Lupin, along with their friends and
acquaintances. The novel is known for its satire of Pooter's inflated sense of
self-importance and the social embarrassments he faces. It helped establish a
genre of humorous fiction based on lower-middle-class aspirations. The Diary
has been adapted for stage and screen multiple times. The Grossmith brothers
had successful careers in the entertainment industry before collaborating on
the novel. The book initially received mixed reviews but gained popularity
over time, with authors like Evelyn Waugh and J.B. Priestley praising its
humor and portrayal of English life in the 1880s. The Diary of a Nobody
remains a beloved and influential work in the genre of comedic diaries.
