What happens when you pick up a passion for the banjo and treat your surroundings to banjo music all day? Ask Bertram Wooster!
He is informed that either he or the banjo must leave his apartment. Stubborn as he is, and wounded as an artist, he chooses to rent a cottage outside the city.
Jeeves, his butler, then decides to seek another position. A sensitive blow for Bertie.
This is the start of another chaotic and absurd episode in the life of Bertram and Jeeves.
Of course, everything turns out fine in the end.
The typical Wodehousian prose once again provides a few laughs.
In the current climate of sensitivity readers and the editing of texts in classics, it's worth mentioning that this book is also dated.
I am firmly against altering books from the past, but there is a group of African-American singers with some stereotypes in this book.
“All in good spirit,” Bertie would say, but it's good to be aware of it.
