Description
P.G. Wodehouse was a comic writer of genius, renowned for his iconic characters and witty stories. Yet, despite his enduring legacy in literature, the writer himself remains an enigma. Robert McCrum's biography, Wodehouse: A Life, offers a fresh perspective on this literary figure, delving into the complexities of his extraordinary career. The book explores Wodehouse's early life in Edwardian London, his rise to fame on Broadway during the Jazz Age, and his adventures in 1930s Hollywood. Through McCrum's research, which spans Britain, Europe, and the United States, Wodehouse: A Life sheds new light on a pivotal moment in Wodehouse's life - his internment in Nazi Germany and the broadcasts from Berlin. This biography brings to life the worlds of Wodehouse's century, while preserving his comic genius.
