Not George Washington

Written by P. G. Wodehouse and Herbert Westbrook

Narrated by Frederick Davidson

This early, autobiographical novel by P. G. Wodehouse aptly describes the perils of a writer’s world in London circa 1900. The protagonist, an author manqué, attempts by any means necessary to establish himself in literary circles. But his subterfuges backfire, his amours come a cropper, and only an ingenious, beguiling denouement saves his skin.

Much as I hate to do this with the (usually) marvelous Wodehouse,I really do have to give this a low rating and a thumbs-down review.I had great difficulty in even finishing this quite short book.I can understand why it has been rarely reprinted,and the only reason I have a copy is my attempt to eventually own a copy of everything P G wrote.devenish

I really disliked this book, especially considering that it is supposed to be at least somewhat autobiographical in nature. I found the main character to be insufferable, manipulative, selfish and dishonest. I actually hoped that his entire life would turn to crap, but his long-suffering fiancee ended up bailing him out. He did not deserve it!
