"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.
