Commentary During Books Psmith in the City (Psmith #2)

Psmith appears in several of Wodehouse's books, in unrelated stories. He is not really the poor man's Galahad Threepwood, but his surroundings are less rich than Blandings Castle. This book clocks in at only 172 pages. It was an easy read. But if it were long, I think the plot would suffer from too much watering down.

I'm quite jealous of Wodehouse's ease in rhetoric. If I could faintly master the way he uses the English language...there are many adaptations of Psmith and his ilk(all Wodehouse creations) in other parts of the world. The way Wodehouse's characters are adapted by various natives from all over the world is fascinating, but here may not be the place to analyze that.

The book is easy, but whether it's easy on the eyes of the mind is a different matter. Psmith and his acolyte Mike Jackson both appear as often, but Psmith is the brains behind the cogs and wheels of the plot. If you are a fan and haven't read this particular book, I can safely recommend it. Before reading this book there have been reviews hailing it as hilarious; I didn't find it exactly that, but I can see where they're coming from. 3 stars out of 5.

Assess Of Books Psmith in the City (Psmith #2)

The witty, immaculately dressed and imperturbable Rupert Psmith (the P being silent and an addition to the name by its bearer) is delightful and so is Psmith In the City. The story concerns Psmith and his friend, Mike Jacksons experiences at the New Asiatic Bank; employment necessitated in Mike's case by a change of circumstances for his father. For Psmith the quest is for something to do.In point of fact, the plot and minor characters are decorative. The focus of the story is Psmith, himself,

Comfort reading par excellence. I think this is the pslashiest of the Psmith books. Interesting for the stuff about class -- I think it was TFV said that when Wodehouse was writing the school stories he hadn't yet achieved the complete detachment from reality you see in his later works, and that's true for the Psmith books as well.I hadn't realised when I first read this how strongly autobiographical it is -- the New Asiatic Bank is HSBC; Cambridge is Oxford; Dulwich College is, well, Dulwich

Much funnerer than Mike (chiefly because the cricket talk was not so all-pervasive), and with overall better readers, but I think I need a really top-notch narrator to really get the full effect of the Wodehousian wit. But I have Audible taste on a Librivox budget, so I bravely endure. I keep expecting to fall madly in love with Wodehouse any minute, and there are certainly moments when my heart feels flutterier, but so far our relationship overall remains in the warm acquaintance category.

The jokes and language are already top notch in this early Psmith novel, but Wodehouse hadn't yet figured out how to devise an appropriately complex and ludicrous plot. So while there were a good number of laughs, I found that it dragged a bit overall. Still, it's pretty incredible that a book written in 1910 can be funny to a modern audience. A sample of Psmth's grandiloquence:"All is not well," he said, "with Comrade Jackson, the Sunshine of the Home. I note a certain wanness of the cheek. The

I listened to the audiobook performed by the incomparable Jonathan Cecil. This is about the 5th Wodehouse I've listened to and they've all been delightful. Psmith in the City is the 2nd of the Psmith novels I've done, the other being a hybrid between the Psmith series and the Blanding Castle series called "Leave it to Psmith". I've marked this down from the usual 4 to 3.5 because there was way too much cricket (as in the sport) about which I know precisely nothing, and am happy to leave my

Mike is delighted when avid fellow cricket player PSmith deigns to draw off his lavender gloves and join Comrades in the New Asiatic Bank. Manager Bickersdyke receives unwanted special attention. Humorous, but cricketer would probably like more. Wonder how much is autobiographical?

I am a lover of almost every sport. I say almost because the beauty of the game of cricket has never exposed itself to me. It is to me as interesting as watching water freeze or grass growing. When I started this book I thought it would be a complete bust as the first chapter deals with this game of cricket. Once the first chapter was read and the shock of boredom had passed, the story picked up and became quite humorous and entertaining. Psmith (pronounced Smith as the P remains silent) is a
