P. G. Wodehouse's incomparable Psmith brings his wit, confidence, and perfectly polished monocle to the world of New York journalism in one of the author's most entertaining early comic novels. Elegant, articulate, and magnificently self-assured, Ronald Eustace Psmith approaches danger, corruption, and social absurdity with an unshakable calm that makes him one of Wodehouse's most distinctive creations.
Originally published in 1915, Psmith, Journalist follows Psmith and his friend Mike Jackson as they become involved with a struggling magazine in New York City and unexpectedly find themselves confronting gangsters, political corruption, and urban crime. Wodehouse transforms potentially serious material into sparkling comedy through brilliant dialogue, absurd situations, and the effortless charm of his unforgettable central character.
Although best known for Jeeves and Wooster, Wodehouse's Psmith novels occupy a special place in his body of work, blending comic adventure, social satire, and literary elegance into stories unlike anything else in early twentieth-century fiction. Psmith himself remains one of Wodehouse's greatest inventions: endlessly resourceful, impeccably mannered, and entirely incapable of losing composure regardless of circumstance.
Ideal for readers of classic British humour, comic adventure fiction, literary satire, witty dialogue-driven novels, and timeless English comedy.
