P.S. Plum Perfect

Plum readers,

Here's a small gem I found this morning: a P.G. Wodehouse interview in 1975 published in the Paris Review when he was 91 and a half years old. There's a little bit of everything covered, from his year in a German internment camp to how he is utterly awful at giving directions even to his own home in Long Island. His happy temperament is on perfect display throughout the 23 pages, one of which is a picture from his notes for a Blandings novel he was working on at the time of his death.

I am glad to know his favorite character of his own device is Lord Emsworth, with whom I'm about to spend this perfect May afternoon in Pigs Have Wings.
