Categories: Humor & Entertainment, Literature & Fiction

In Right Ho, Jeeves (1934; U.S. title Brinkley Manor), Bertie Wooster decides to solve his friends' problems himself instead of relying on Jeeves. At Brinkley Court, the home of his Aunt Dahlia, he tries to help the shy newt fancier Gussie Fink-Nottle win Madeline Bassett and to reconcile his cousin Angela with her fiancé, Tuppy Glossop. Each of Bertie's schemes makes things worse, and the household's temper frays as the French chef Anatole threatens to leave.

• Fareed Zakaria: “P. G. Wodehouse. I’ve read almost everything he wrote. He once explained that there were two ways of writing novels. “One is mine, making the thing a sort of musical comedy without music, ignoring real life altogether; the other is going right down deep into life and not caring a damn.” He did the former better than almost anyone.”
