1 year agoWhen I started reading Wodehouse I remember struggling a bit to find the humour, and so i watched an episode or two of this and then the tone of the writing became clear. I’ve read maybe 16 of his books now. Love him!
Find me a comic writer who doesn’t love Wodehouse!
When I started reading Wodehouse I remember struggling a bit to find the humour, i then watched an episode or two of the show staring Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry and immediately the tone clicked. I’ve read about 16 of his books since. Love him!
The first Psmith book was one of the worst books i’ve ever read- the first half was basiclly ‘cricket – the book’ and the second half was the beginning of the Wodehouse style but it still wasn’t there.
Here’s a link to the show on youtube
