Description
Aziloth Books Diary of a Nobody by George Grossmith Weedon Grossmith
George and Weedon Goldsmiths creation of the utterly pedestrian and irredeemably middleclass bank clerk Henry Pooter is a work of comic genius. Why should I not publish my diary? Pooter asks at the start of the book and the answer becomes blindingly hilariously clear as he proceeds to detail the unremitting tedium of his life in all its humdrum detail: straightening a Venetian blind nailing down a loose carpet corner or describing his trifling battles with tradesmen. It is the authors achievement that this litany of dull dreariness leaves the reader in stitches and with a reluctant affection for their heros character.show more
