Mike Jackson, cricketer and scion of a cricketing clan, finds his dreams of studying and playing at Cambridge upset by news of his father's financial troubles and must instead take a job with the "New Asiatic Bank" Thrust into the cold world to earn his keep in the City, Mike's bleak mood swiftly changes with the addition of the debonair, witty, calm and completely unruffleable Psmith to Mike's workplace and home. This tale of Psmith and Mike's entry into the banking world is a wonderful send-up of British corporate culture, with hysterical sidetrips through the worlds of cricket, street life, Parliamentary elections, and private clubs. Psmith, one of the most delightfully eccentric characters in literature, provides an essential primer on dealing with bosses and getting ahead that goes Machiavelli one better!

Not Wodehouse's greatest.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Psmith in the City (Paperback)
This one is not up to Wodehouse standard.Bought one for my son in Australia, and I bought one for myself from Amazon UK. It was not as good as I thought I remebered it to be, sadly. And I think my son will wonder why I bought him this one and Psmith, Journalist. Ugh. Will stick to the Jeeves ones, which are much more entertaining to read.
