Psmith Journalist

Growing bored while accompanying his Cambridge chum Mike on a cricket tour of the United States, Psmith seeks adventure in New York City. He finds it in the form of the weekly newspaper Cosy Moments , a completely bland and inoffensive publication at which, through charm and sheer force of personality, Psmith appoints himself an unpaid subeditor, fires the entire contributing staff, and embarks on a crusade against the slumlords, gangs, and boxing managers of his holiday destination. Psmith, Journalist is the third of Wodehouse's Psmith novels , and is a marked departure from the author's usual settings and themes. It presents a very strong social justice theme with direct, harsh condemnation of exploitation, corruption, racism, and inequality in early twentieth century America, and its themes continue to resonate with readers a century later. The story first appeared in The Captain magazine from October 1909 to February 1910, and was first published as a book, including eight illustrations, by A & C Black in 1915. This Standard Ebook is based on the 1923 edition by the same publisher. P. G. Wodehouse (died 1975) was a significant literary figure of the 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. This work stands as a testament to the enduring power of literature to illuminate the human condition. Psmith Journalist has been read and admired for generations, and this carefully prepared public domain edition ensures it remains accessible to new readers in the digital age.
