Title: fine slices of Victorian life
Review: 'The Day of Silence..' contains several short stories by George ('New Grub Street') Gissing from the 1890s. As expected, they are well-written and generally portray life from a personal perspective. Greed, selfishness, boorish behavior are all on display. Gissing doesn't seem to be preaching anything but rather simply highlighting daily life of common Londoners during that time. Interesting? Yes, generally. Enthralling? No, not even close.Bottom line: get hooked on 'New Grub Street' before dabbling into anything else by Gissing. That said, these short stories represent quality literature.
