Wake Up, Sir!, A Novel Summary
| Wake Up, Sir! is an homage to the novels and stories of P.G. Wodehouse. It is the story of a young alcoholic man, Alan Blair, and his valet, Jeeves. Now this Jeeves is not the same Jeeves as featured in Wodehouse -- the fact that he possesses the same name is simply a mad coincidence. But, there is something curious about young Alan's valet -- is he really there? Is he a mirage, a fantasy, an alcoholic hallucination, an invisible friend? Or does he really exist (as much as anyone can exist in fiction)? Regardless, Jeeves is there in one way or another as Ames brilliantly mimics the structure of many Wodehouse adventures. Instead of visiting a country estate, Alan and Jeeves go to an artist colony (modeled loosely after Yaddo) where Alan hopes to finish his novel, quit his drinking, and possibly fall in love -- three reasonable things for anyone to want . . . whether attended to by a valet or not. |
