Psmith, Journalist, (Paperback)

<p>Growing bored while accompanying his Cambridge chum <strong>Mike</strong> on a cricket tour of the United States, Psmith seeks adventure in <strong>New York</strong> 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, and is a marked departure from the author's usual settings and themes. It presents a very strong social justice theme with direct, harsh condemnation of exploitation, corruption, racism, and inequality in early-twentieth century America, and its themes continue to resonate with readers a century later.The story first appeared in <strong>The Captain</strong> magazine from October <strong>1909</strong> to February <strong>1910</strong>, and was first published as a book, including eight illustrations, by A &amp; C Black in <strong>1915</strong>.
