"The Masterfolk" by Haldane MacFall is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to center around the literary world, delving into the lives and struggles of a group of characters involved in a struggling publication. Two primary characters, Netherby Gomme, a humorist and the editor’s son Oliver Baddlesmere, navigate their way through the complexities of writing, social expectations, and personal aspirations amidst the backdrop of early 1900s British society. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the dingy editorial office where Netherby Gomme, characterized as a gaunt and serious youth, works diligently on his writing while mentoring his younger colleague, Oliver. The tone is both humorous and reflective as they discuss various humorous topics and the challenges facing them in the literary industry. The narrative offers glimpses into their personalities and their surroundings, highlighting the tension between ambition and reality, as well as the struggles of lesser-known writers striving for recognition. As the characters interact, they reveal layers of camaraderie and concern, setting the stage for deeper exploration of themes related to artistry and societal expectations throughout the story.
