Pain’s literary style combines wit, humor, and social critique, reminiscent of the works of his contemporaries such as Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde. The stories are filled with fantastical elements and absurd situations that highlight the absurdity of human behavior and societal norms. Pain’s use of satire and irony adds depth to his narratives, making them both entertaining and thought-provoking. Set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these stories reflect the tensions and upheavals of the time. Barry Pain, a prolific English writer known for his wit and humor, drew inspiration from the societal changes and technological advancements of his era. His keen observations of human behavior and his ability to mock societal conventions are evident in ‘The New Gulliver, and Other Stories’.
