Comfort reading par excellence. I think this is the pslashiest of the Psmith books. Interesting for the stuff about class -- I think it was TFV said that when Wodehouse was writing the school stories he hadn't yet achieved the complete detachment from reality you see in his later works, and that'...more
If ever there was a book which stamped the top position on the podium of pleasant read, then Psmith in the City, would definitely be a leading contender for the title. A short book with not too many characters, this book makes for a joyful read to anyone holding this book. What adds to the pleasa...more
The witty, immaculately dressed and imperturbable Rupert Psmith (the ‘P’ being silent and an addition to the name by its bearer) is delightful and so is Psmith In the City. The story concerns Psmith and his friend, Mike Jackson’s experiences at the New Asiatic Bank; employment necessitated in Mik...more
This has some choice moments--mostly when Psmith is caught red-handed and talks his way out of it--but overall I found it much less enjoyable than "Leave it to Psmith". The problem is the plot: it mostly revolves around Psmith's friend Mike--it starts and ends with prolonged descriptions of Mike...more
I just read an article on what modern writers call the "Manic Pixie Dream Girl". You know the character type--the crazy, impulsive, imaginative young lady who charges into the male main character's life, shakes it up, changes it forever, and then makes ready to go on her merry way. (Whether she a...more
The immaculate, verbose, eminently patronising Psmith finds himself, at the tender age of nineteen, entereing Commerce in order to indulge a whim of his father - and not perhaps coincidentally bring joy and light into the life of his school friend Mike, exiled to work in the same Bank by his own...more
The only bad things about the Psmith books is that Wodehouse only wrote four of them. The cry goes out around the town "Psmith is the alligator's Adam's apple."
After some effortful reading, I was of a mind to enjoy a light and easy novel. What better author that P.G. Wodehouse for this purpose, and what better series than the adventures of Mike & Psmith. I read a great deal of Wodehouse more than ten years ago, so a re-read feels fresh and new. I’ve...more
Standard Wodehouse fare, and very good. This was different, however, in that it contained no Wodehouse female of any description -- no aunts and no battleaxes and no pippins.
