| Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry as Bertie and Jeeves
By P.G. Wodehouse, New York, Avenel Books, 1983
Reading the novels of P.G. Wodehouse is a singular experience. I've been a fan since the 1980s, and its like entering an Anglophilic dreamscape. Jeeves is the perfect "Gentleman's Gentleman," and Bertie is the most charming dimwit in all of literature. I can't really tell the Bertie and Jeeves novels apart. The plots are so trivial and formulaic, yet the prose is undeniably enjoyable. I am so taken with PGW that I've even read his golf short stories. That's devotion!
