April 2018 reread done via the marvelous narration of Jonathan Cecil (Hoopla audiobook): This book was so much more hilarious now that I am familiar with Psmith! I thought it was great as a Blandings book but now as a Psmith book, I love it even more (particularly the way Psmith interacts with Baxter). The only thing missing is The Empress... As a result, I am increasing my rating from the previous 4* (especially for the audiobook narration by Cecil). "Then perhaps you will tell me your name." "Ah! Things are beginning to move. The name is Psmith. P-smith. The p is silent." "Psmith?" "Psmith." Miss Clarkson brooded over this for a moment in almost pained silence, then recovered her slipping grip of affairs. "I think," she said, "you had better give me a few particulars about yourself." "There is nothing I should like better," responded Psmith warmly. "I am always ready--I may say eager--to tell people the story of my life, but in this rushing age I get little encouragement." Good Wodehousian farce. Tables get turned, and then turned again, and then turned again, and on and on for a while, until everything suddenly comes full circle in the last couple of pages. Loved this description of Freddie Threepwood: "He sidled up, looking like a well-dressed sheep." Wodehouse can always be depended on for marvelous similes! I will say, though, you have to be in the right mood for all of this, and although I can appreciate the deft writing and get some chuckles out of it, a whole novel's worth of farce is not my favorite thing any more.

A debononair young Englishman, Psmith (" the p is silent, as in phthisis, psychic, and ptarmigan" ) has quit the fish business, " even though there is money in fish, " and decided to support himself by doing anything that he is hired to do by anyone. Wandering in and out of romantic, suspenseful, and invariably hilarious situations, Psmith is in the great Wodehouse tradition. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
