“So, Jeeves!”
“Yes, sir.”
“What do you mean, Yes, sir?”
“I was endeavouring to convey my appreciation of the fact that your position is in many respects somewhat difficult, sir. But I wonder if I might call your attention to an observation of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius. He said: ‘Does aught befall you? It is good. It is part of the destiny of the Universe ordained for you from the beginning. All that befalls you is part of the great web.'”
I breathed a bit stertorously.
“He said that, did he?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Well, you can tell him from me he’s an ass.”P. G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) Anglo-American humorist, playwright and lyricist [Pelham Grenville Wodehouse]

Do we have any other PG Wodehouse fans on @bookstodon? I love his work, it’s so funny and cheeky and joyful all at once, and was the perfect prescription for anyone feeling down during the pandemic.
My favourite book of his is The Code of the Woosters, one of the Jeeves and Wooster series. There’s something marvellous about the intricate, interconnected plot elements - there’s a bundle of things going on at once, including various complicated relationships, jealousy, a compromising notebook, misunderstandings over the accidental ‘theft’ of an umbrella, and the actually planned theft of an ugly silver cow creamer.
On top of that, Wodehouse was unusually political by throwing into this 1938 novel a hilarious character based on the fascist movements of the era: Roderick Spode, a ‘human gorilla’ who leads a group of wannabe fascists called the Black Shorts. It’s great stuff.
In the course of enjoying Wodehouse’s work I’ve met many Wodehouse fans around the world. When I visited Tokyo a few years ago I was delighted to be presented with a copy of The Code of the Woosters in Japanese by Tamaki Morimura (see the photo below), who translates PGW’s books into that language. When it came to public notice that the previous Empress of Japan was a great Wodehouse reader, her translations had a big bump in sales! Much deserved.
