About this listen
P. G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) was a beloved British humorist whose writing career spanned nearly every literary mode. His discerning wit and effortless prose gained him international praise. In his delightful series of Psmith novels, Wodehouse tracks the adventures of an adroit dandy, unfazed by even the most tumultuous situations.
The Psmith tales are classics of British comic melodrama, sending the listener through a lighthearted world with an unshakeable Psmith at the helm. In Psmith in the City, the adventure continues, following the novel's namesake and his cricket-obsessed companion Mike Jackson in their new life in finance at the New Asiatic Bank. As is expected, hilarity ensues when their passion for cricket becomes an obstacle to successful employment. In this novel we see all of Wodehouse's comic genius and mastery of farce. Wodehouse is no moralist, zealot, or philosopher - he is a humorist, and a brilliant one at that, who bring levity to a heavy world. The power of humour is here at its highest in the witty Psmith in the City.

What did you like most about Psmith in the City?
It is a good yarn with some decent funny bits.What was one of the most memorable moments of Psmith in the City?
The hustings at which Psmith attends and interjects with carefully chosen words and causes a riot.Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Indeed it did but there were quality issues with the recording that meant that it was below the usual standard from Audible.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
You might if you had time. I was sufficiently engaged to take it with me in the car to listen to on the way to work.Any additional comments?
It sounded as if the recording had been badly edited. Many phrases were cut off at the last word so you could not hear the ending of the word or phrase. This was very irritating and was a disatraction from the story.The recording left something to be desired

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
Hard-core Wodehouse fans only and then only if they love cricket!Has Psmith in the City put you off other books in this genre?
If this had been my first Wodehouse there would never have been any more.Have you listened to any of Jonathan Cecil’s other performances? How does this one compare?
The performance is fine - it's the content that's rubbish.You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Unless you love cricket to the point of wanting to listen to long (15 minute) descriptions of matches - no redeeming qualities for the rest of us.Any additional comments?
If this had been my first PG Wodehose book there would never have ever been any more! It’s a series of loosely connected incidents concerned with cricket and avoiding work while employed at a bank. None of the usual imposters, mistaken identities, formidable aunts or unwanted engagements that PG Wodehouse usually delivers with such wit. The entire first fifteen minutes of this book is spent in a description of a cricket match! This is for hard-core Wodehouse fans who love cricket only – be warned!For cricket fans only
