New Grub Neighborhood (1891) gets the trustworthiness of being George Gissing's finest book. With bitter humour and grim realism, it says the storyline of the ambitions, dreams, and disappointments of men and women battling to earn their living as authors in the shutting many years of the Victorian period. Jasper Milvain is a young writer of limited talent, wanting to exploit every opportunity and communal connection in order to make his way. In the meantime, his more scholarly acquaintance Edwin Reardon may have enjoyed early on success as a literary novelist, but his rigidly high requirements place him at chances with the preferences of the mass market, and he seems destined for financial spoil. For those who toil "in the valley of the shadow of literature" the spectre of poverty looms large - and in the ruthlessly commercial world of New Grub Neighborhood, only those can adapt to the brutal needs of industry stand a chance of finding enjoyment and fulfillment.
