Psmith, Journalist - The Original Classic Edition

Wodehouse P

Description

Psmith Journalist is the third Psmith novel and finds the hero cavorting in the New York City of 1914, as he unilaterally takes over a weekly newpaper, runs afoul of politicians and gangsters, and consorts with other gangsters to arrange for his protection.

This sounds rather grim but actually Psmith continues to delight us with his humorous language and indomitable aplomb. As with the other early novels the final plot resolution is rather weak but not without being preceded by a hundred-odd pages of hilarious dialog and action.

Moreover, the book provides a fascinating glimpse into the New York of a distant year, with which the author was intimately familiar.
