Ian is rejoined by his brother Josh to scrutinise "Psmith in the City" AKA "The New Fold", the second Psmith novel, serialised in 1908-9 and collected in book form in 1910. It is a highly autobiographical account of reluctantly working in a London bank. Mike and Psmith's schooldays are behind them, but Mike is still fixated on cricket and Psmith is still out to cause disruption wherever possible. There will be spoilers and a soupçon of politics.

Αναπαραγωγή αργότερα Αναπαραγωγή αργότερα Λίστες Like LikedIan is joined by former teenage Wodehouse obsessive Gavin Bradbury to look at Plum's first country house novel, A Gentleman of Leisure AKA The Intrusion of Jimmy from 1910. The book is at once a light romantic story, an exposé of the corruption in the New York police force, a satire of "gentleman criminal" style stories, and a precurser to the Blandings novels. Ian is unable to be impartial about one of the first Wodehouse novels he ever read, whereas Gavin is more critical. We discuss the differences between the novel and the related novella "The Gem Collector", why this book was such a hit on stage and screen, changing mores in acceptable morality in early twentieth century entertainment, how Jimmy Pitt differs from our ideal Wodehouse leading man, and what's still missing from the later classic formula. Other Wodehouse books mentioned: The World of Mr Mulliner The Coming of Bill Something Fresh The Man Upstairs The Heart of a Goof Psmith in the City Psmith, Journalist The Luck of the Bodkins Also mentioned: Fawlty Towers The Young Ones The Kenny Everett Show Coronation Street A Sharp Intake of Breath The Lennie and Jerry Show Tony Hancock James Cagney Philadelphia Story Bringing Up Baby Cary Grant Wodehouse TV adaptations John Stapleton Douglas Fairbanks John Barrymore Tim Key E.W.

Αναπαραγωγή αργότερα Αναπαραγωγή αργότερα Λίστες Like LikedIan talks to writer Thom Robinson about the seventh Wodehouse book, "Love Among the Chickens". There will be spoilers. Among Wodehouse's books, this is: The first intended for a general audience, as opposed to schoolboys or young children The first to involve a love story The first to introduce a major recurring character, which is Ukridge The first with golf as a major element. The first to be properly published in the USA It exists in two versions (four versions actually, but two book versions): The original 1906 book and the 1921 rewrite. We look at both versions to discuss how the changes reflect his development as a writer. Also discussed: William Townend, who gave him the plot Herbert Westbrook, partial model for Ukridge The trip Wodehouse took to Lyme Regis with the "Lyon cubs", that provided the setting Arthur Conan Doyle's The Stark-Munro Letters , a probable influence on the novel The narrator Jeremy Garnet's description of his working life as a novelist, and how far it is likely autobiographical The self-deprecating humour about being unable to write convincing female characters The old "Have someone pushed into the water so you can rescue them" wheeze Thom's old podcast with Hazel Smoczynska: https://soundcloud.com/yammerofthegods Hosted on Acast.
