Psmith, Journalist
By P. G. Wodehouse
31 chapters
Growing bored while accompanying his Cambridge chum Mike on a cricket tour of the United States, Psmith seeks adventure in New York City. He finds it in the form of the weekly newspaper Cosy Moments, a completely bland and inoffensive publication at which, through charm and sheer force of personality, Psmith appoints himself an unpaid subeditor, fires the entire contributing staff, and embarks on a crusade against the slumlords, gangs, and boxing managers of his holiday destination.
Psmith, Journalist is the third of Wodehouse’s Psmith novels. It presents a very strong social justice theme with direct, harsh condemnation of exploitation, corruption, racism, and inequality.
