À propos de cet ebook

The bon vivant takes charge of a New York magazine—and gets in a tangle with the mob—in this comic novel by the creator of Jeeves and Wooster.
 
When Cambridge student Mike Jackson journeys to New York on a cricketing tour, his good friend Psmith comes along for a laugh. An inveterate dandy and irrepressible wit, Psmith finds New York lacking in entertainment—until he stumbles into the magazine business. Befriending the editor of Cozy Moments, Psmith talks his way onto the editorial staff and has the once-stodgy periodical printing scandalous exposés in no time.
 
While the paper’s sudden change is upsetting to its subscribers, they’re no trouble at all compared to the local ruffians who’ve started tailing Psmith. Clearly someone doesn’t like what Cozy Moments has to say about local housing conditions. Suddenly Psmith and Mike are wrapped up in a madcap adventure of mass media, gangsters, professional boxing, and lost cats.
 
First published in 1915, Psmith, Journalist was included in the BBC’s 2019 list of “100 Novels That Shaped Our World.”
