Pooter carefully records domestic events, social gatherings, minor disagreements and the behaviour of his troublesome son Lupin, regarding even the smallest incident as worthy of serious attention. Much of the humour comes from the contrast between Pooter's inflated sense of dignity and the ordinary reality of his suburban existence. Gentle, affectionate and sharply observant, the novel is a brilliant satire of Victorian lower-middle-class respectability and remains one of the most enduring works of English comic fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216457711955,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421140304211,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1085\/2951\/6883\/files\/803.jpg?v=1792531683","url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/the-diary-of-a-nobody-1992-folio-society-803","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
