I'm normally a big Wodehouse fan, but I have to say I was a little disappointed in this collection. "Bring on the Girls" purports to be the joint memoirs of Guy Bolton and Wodehouse, recounting their years in partnership writing musicals in the 1910s and 1920s. Obviously, strict accuracy has been sacrificed for humour -- or, rather, attempts at humour. I found the jokes to be somewhat forced, and in some ways, the Wodehouse here seems like the mediocre pastiches of Wodehouse you see elsewhere. "Performing Flea," a collection of letters from Wodehouse to a school friend, can be very dry in spots, though the side notes do help. For some reason, "intense, vital and eruptive" pops up in both "Over Seventy" and "Bring on the Girls." If you're seeking top-notch Wodehouse, stick to Jeeves, Blandings or Ukridge. Not recommended. ( ) Bring on the Girls is the first in the Autobiographical trilogy by Wodehouse. He tells of his partnership with Guy Bolton and the more than 20 years they spent as musical comedy writers on Broadway and in London. A hugely enjoyable laugh-out-loud book as they send themselves up in hilarious style. (4 Stars) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
