Product Description
"The man in the street would not have known it, but a great crisis was imminent in New York journalism. "Everything seemed much as usual in the city. The cars ran blithely on Broadway. Newsboys shouted 'Wux-try' into the ears of nervous pedestrians with their usual Caruso-like vim. Society passed up and down Fifth Avenue in its automobiles, and was there a furrow of anxiety upon Society's brow? None. At a thousand street corners a thousand policemen preserved their air of massive superiority to the things of this world. Not one of them showed the least sign of perturbation. Nevertheless, the crisis was at hand." The irrepressible Psmith is accompanying his fellow Cambridge student Mike to New York on a cricketing tour. Through high spirits and force of personality - well, you know how Psmith is - Psmith takes charge of a minor periodical, and becomes embroiled in a scandal involving slum landlords, boxers and gangsters! It's a roaring Wodehouse tale, replete with colorful characters, clever wordplay, and the sorts of retorts you wish you had at your command. And, rare for Wodehouse, a strong social conscience!
