Not George Washington An Autobiographical Novel

P.G. Wodehouse

4.9/5 (26852 ratings)

Description:Not George Washington" is a rather unusual novel of Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (P. G. Wodehouse), who was a very popular English comic writer, widely read even 40 years after his death. Rather unusual, because it is often perceived as an early experiment of the writer that came out a bit early, before he developed his special comic style, full of good plots, clever wordplay and great characters.The story starts with Miss Margaret Goodwin and James Orlebar Cloyster, who are to be married. But first, James plans to succeed as a writer, so he leaves for London and becomes distracted by other things - personal relationships and career events. His success comes eventually, and he starts wanting something to justify the continued separation from Margaret, so he employs three other people as fronts for his literary work. But of course, things do not work entirely as he wanted."Not George Washington" is a semi-autobiographical novel (based on Wodehouse's early life as a writer in London), with places and lifestyles drawn from life, but with imaginary plot. The novel was written in collaboration with Herbert Westbrook and published in 1907."Not George Washington" is written in several voices and some are less likeable; although Wodehouse's skills are already evident, the wordplay is not so clever yet, and the character is not as great and lovable as other characters either. However, even if it may not be the best novel by P. G. Wodehouse, it is still a good reading, written cleverly and definitely becoming more interesting when you pass the opening section and the narrative voice is shifted to other characters. The ending is both happy and improbable. Even if it lacks the perfection of later Wodehouse, this novel is only a step removed from reality, which makes it well worth the read.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
