| Summary | "The Small Bachelor" by P. G. Wodehouse is a comedic novel written in the late 1920s. The story follows George Finch, a young bachelor from Idaho who has moved to New York City, where he aspires to be an artist despite being dreadfully untalented. As the narrative unfolds, humorous situations arise focusing on George's awkwardness in romance and his interactions with a memorable cast of quirky characters, including the authoritative J. Hamilton Beamish and a police officer named Garroway. The opening of the book sets the scene on the rooftop of the Sheridan Apartment House, introducing the vibrant, bohemian world of New York City. We are first introduced to George Finch, who has garnered a legacy that allows him to pursue art, albeit poorly. Simultaneously, Beamish is depicted as a self-proclaimed expert focused on transforming ordinary people into poets, suggesting an impending challenge for both George and himself. The comedic elements are further heightened by Mullett, George's awkward servant, who shares insight into George's infatuation with a mysterious young lady he has been admiring from a distance. The scene is richly detailed, providing a preview of the humorous misunderstandings and romantic entanglements to come. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
