So I recently Read "Wake Up, Sir!" By Jonathan Ames in which a wealthy but depressed and alcoholic writer who is an anglophile hires a manservant named Jeeves and launches himself on an epic comedy of errors across the Mid - Atlantic coast. I was wondering if anyone else has read this, and could offer any comparisons/ observations on Bertie Wooster vs Alan Blair and Jeeves vs. Jeeves?
Just curious. It was interesting how Ames used several Wodehousian elements but updated the concerns to that of a slacker in the 90s.
