Wodehouse on the AV Club

[namasteyoga.livejournal.com]

I mostly lurk here, but since I hadn't seen a link here, though I'd note it. The AV Club (the pop culture arm of the satirical website The Onion) is featuring Wodehouse in its Gateway to Geekery series. (The series is essentially suggestions on how to introduce yourself to a new topic, from styles of music to literature.)

Be sure to check out the comments, especially once it gets to the random Wodehouse quotes, including: "It was as if Nature had intended to make a gorilla and had changed its mind at the last moment."

This is pretty cool! Although I'm curious as to what they find wrong with Aunts Aren't Gentlemen (I have it, but I haven't read it yet).

It's less about finding something wrong, I think, than it is that that particular story, coming from late in his life (1974) isn't a classic on the same scale as his earlier work. The column is about the best ways to introduce new people to his work.
