Satire?[edit]

"a work of sharp social satire": Not sure why LIVING is considered satire. Perhaps the action when the owners are on stage is mildly satirical. But this is infrequent. Or perhaps the contributor thinks a novel featuring proletarians as the main characters must perforce be satirical. Or, maybe the contributor has Green mixed up with his contemporary and acquaintance Evelyn Waugh. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 03:46, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
