Plum Assignment

In Mulliner Nights, P. G. Wodehouse tells us that "there is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature." Curtis Armstrong and Elliott Milstein might add that no mutual taste in literature is a surer foundation for friendship than a mutual love of the works of P. G. Wodehouse, and their four decades of friendship, sparked by The Master when they were barely out of short pants and spots, proves it. Across those decades, the authors expressed their love of Wodehouse through deep dives into his oeuvre in papers, presentations, and toasts delivered at Wodehouse conventions and published in Wodehouse journals. A Plum Assignment collects these pieces together for the first time, exploring everything from the heights of Bertie Wooster's consanguinity to the depths of S. F. Ukridge's penny-ante stratagems, from the satiric depredations of Mulliner's Hollywood to precisely how Plum penned the sunshine into Blandings. Pour yourself a cheerful whisky and s. and join two great pals for a journey through the world of P. G. Wodehouse
