Wodehouse Jute Pun

I can't be the first person to notice that jute-hating Bruce "Corky" Corcoran's last name is very similar to the scientific genus of jute, namely "Corchorus", can I?

Things looking up for PGW on the Televisual front
|
| |
There appear to be an interesting film and a Blandings TV series to be
released soon in the UK. Can we hope that PBS in America will pick
them up.
First Robert McCrum, author of a bigraphy on PGW has this to say in
the Guardian.

The Bigger Family
|
| |
"Ring for Jeeves" is a novel in which Bertie Wooster is absent, and
Jeeves,
on loan, makes only rare appearances.
Pages quoted below are from my current Arrow version.
The Bigger Family is mentioned by PGW as a game played by kids (pg.
82),
and I've compressed and formalised it thus:
Q: Which is bigger, Mr Bigger or Mrs Bigger? (pg.82)... more »

Mulliner short stories
|
| |
PGW really hit his stride with the three Mulliner books.

Best Seller
|

Why write a book?
To impart knowledge or your ideas, to earn a living, or win public acclaim?
Beware! It can become a drug of addiction, and many a prolific author has died, typewriter in hand - just to prove he/she can still do it.
But "Best Seller" is name of a short story in the Mulliner collection,... more »

Raymond Chandler, and PGW
|
| |
Oddly, I came across American crime writer, Chandler's book, "The Big Sleep", and decided to buy it. Then went hunting for movie of same name, starring Bogart and Bacall.
Actually, I've now rehd "Farewell, my Lovely", instead (Big Sleep, later), and found it both fascinating and amusing - which brings us to PGW.... more »
