Oh, jeez, no. Plum's descriptions were rarely cruel. At worst, they leaned
towards humorous caricatures.  This, in fact, looks like something from
Kingsley Amis or Evelyn Waugh.

PG said (preface to Summer Lightning I think) that a critic once accused
him of writing books with the same characters each time under different
names. But this time he'd done him in by putting in all the same
characters under the same names. "Pretty silly it will make him feel, I

Hi,
	Someone commented that PGW stories are fun because the reader

	process that makes it hilarious. I totally agree. When you see
	it acted out, it just isn't that funny. I am not saying that the

I am not sure what this proves about being able to translate works
very rooted in one language or culture.  My understanding is that the
translation from French to English is not all that faithful. For
example, the names of the characters, apart from Asterix and Obelix,
dont translate literally.  I believe that the general sense of the
story is followed but the translators add puns, english idioms, and so
on to the dialogs.  I was once talking to a bilingual british
gentleman in a book show in London(UK!) who told me that Asterix in
the original french is MUCH funnier because of the topical satire and
idiomatic word-play that it contains.

Indeed, translation from English to American is not necessarily
one-to-one! The American edition of 'Asterix and the Great Crossing'
changes character names and some dialog also, to make it 'funnier' to
American readers.

The English translators are, if memory serves, Derek Bell and Anthea
Hockbridge.

Finally, since the Asterix comics have come up, as it were, does
anybody have opinions on why these are not so popular in the USA? I
have shared a couple of these with some American friends.  Without
exception they have been returned to me with the comment 'weird'! A
french friend of mine here has also had similar experiences.

THe current Wodehouse series on PBS is indeed a product of the BBC, and
although I hadn't really noticed the discrepency between American series
and Brit, I don't recall there being anything particularly unusual in 
Jeeves and Wooster running as long as it did (I was in Wales when they
originally ran.)  
For any who don't know, Laury and Fry (forgive the spelling if it is wrong)
have worked together on numerous occasions and are fairly well known in the
UK.

As to the old Whodehouse series; it was called "Wodehouse Playhouse" and it was
based on the Mulliner stories.

My opinion of the series?  They ham it up a good bit, but somehow it works--more because of Wodehouse than the actors, I imagine.

The conversation is between Constable Potter and Uncle Fred (who is

Lord Ickenham laughed amusedly.  
  "Just a slip of the tongue, such as so often occurs. He meant

into whose face had crept the boiled look of one who finds the conversation
becoming too abstruse. Three kippers, four eggs and half a loaf of bread,
while nourishing the body, take the keen edge of the mental powers. "And
what renders it all the more complex is that as I myself as a mining
engineer by profession, anyone who wants to get straight on the
Brabazon-Plank situation has got to keep steadily before him the fact that
the minor is a major and the major a miner. I have known strong men to
break down on realizing this. So you know my minor, the major, do you?....

A chapter or two of Wodehouse is my favorite bedtime ritual.  His little
world is so idyllic, so absurd, so devoid of reality, and so much fun that
I find it most calming and the perfect way to end the day.
Sort of the literary equivalent of a warm glass of milk.  I
also enjoy him on train or plane trips.  Easy to pick up, easy to put
down, always entertaining.  

As to plots, they all run together for me.  Sometimes, I noticed, he
actually repeated himself, particularly toward the end of his life.  Same
wordings, even.

Here's an ignorant question:  Why do they call him "Plum"?  And what does
P.G. actually stand for?

I like the Blandings stories more than the Bertie Wooster ones (Gally

better than Bertie).

But, I think the Bertie stories are funnier, and my favorite Wodehouse
book is _The Code of the Woosters_.

I've been a Wodehouse fan since the age of 14. Can't remember how I first
came to pick up one of his books, but I read everything of his that my
local library had to offer. Unfortunately, it is indeed rare for me to
encounter another American Wodehouse fan. Perhaps this group will bring

As these things are often reckoned in the lit-crit community, Wodehouse
could qualify as an American author, don't you know. He came to New
York in -- what? -- the Teens, had a successful career writing for the
musical-comedy stage, had a long standing relationship with the
Saturday Evening Post. I believe he lived most of his adult life in the
States. In fact, it ought to be easy to argue that one of the reasons
his depictions of upperclass English life are so timeless and mythic is
that he was writing mostly from his own juvenile recollections and
impressions. There are plenty of absurdities and anomalies that mark
the writings and memories of a ex-pat too long gone, such as the
California-like weather at Blandings (and at most of the country seats
he creates for us).

(Not that any author's "nationality" matters when appreciating his or
her achievement, but I do find it at least ironic in this case, as in
several others (such as whether T.S. Eliot was an American or British
poet, whether the origins or the destination played the bigger role in
shaping the writer and the works).)

There aren't as many as you think. Some were published under different titles

For example, "Aunts aren't Gentleman" and "The Cat Nappers" is the same book.

I seem to remember that in one of the books (I don't remember any title)
Bertie is almost run over by a car due to absentmindedness, but is pulled 
onto the pavement by a passer-by who happens to be Jeeves. Jeeves then takes
him to the butler's club, where they run into a distasteful member of said 
club who addresses Jeeves as "Reggie" (Reginald).

Bertie has met this person before, and grows quite worried because -- as a 
member of the butler's club -- he has access to the book where Jeeves has 
scrupulously chronicled Bertie's (mis)adventures.

"The Truth About George," perhaps? It's a Mulliner story.

Also:
1. Here's another question:
Psmith's first name = ?
(There are two names that have been used, I think. Unfortunately,
I only remember one, and think I know the other)

What great news to come into work and find a PGW group.  A couple of comments
and then I will not waste your time further:

The answer tho the Nazi simpithizing story was correct.  PGW was duped and was
not a Nazi sympathizer.

During the height of his popularity in the twenties and thirties, mens clubs
were springing up all over the world in salute to the books - 10 cents to
the person that can name these clubs???????

And now for my own self interest.  I have recently begun the very nasty habit
of collecting books.  Of course, due to the volume of his work, my biggest
section is Wodehouse books.  I have about 12 or 13 first editions and am lookingfor more, if you are willing to sell.  First editions with original Jacket
Covers are worth much more.
