This rollicking semi-autobiographical novel weaves a tale of Wodehouse’s early days as a writer, romance gone awry, and the colorful characters he encountered.

James Orlebar Cloyster, in order to marry his true love, embarks on a scheme of such clever deception that he very nearly manages to ruin both his romance and his career.

Told from multiple viewpoints—that of James, his fiancée, and friends—Not George Washington lampoons London society, literary pretension, the West End stage, playwrights, playgoers, bohemian life, and the newspapers of the day.

First of all, there are places where the audio just skips — occasionally in the middle of a word — and passages are simply missing.

Then there's Frederick Davidson's typically awkward and lilting ideosyncratic delivery which is bearable when speaking in his own voice, but just awful when trying to do other characters and accents. Unfortunately, this book is told from the point of view of multiple characters.

It's not a good book, coming as it does early in Wodehouse's career and before he had developed his signature style. But I suspect I'd have taken to it more with a better recording.

Chunks missing, terrible narration, bad story
