What does /lit/ think of P. G. Wodehouse?

>> No.7130778

Funny dude with an immense output. Authors like him and Kingsley Amis need to be reintroduced or they'll be forgotten for the yank authors of the time.

Antisemitic, racist, terribly snobby and a political opportunist.

Unfortunately for him, Martin Amis demonstrates many of his father's traits.
