About this audiobook
T
here are moments in life when one finds oneself unexpectedly surrounded. Young Bingo would describe it as fate. Others might use stronger language.
In
Clustering Round Young Bingo, P. G. Wodehouse gathers the usual elements of civilized disaster: romantic enthusiasm, social overreaction, and the looming shadow of Aunt Dahlia's magazine enterprise.
Bingo, whose emotional decisions tend to arrive faster than his reasoning, becomes the centre of an intricate social arrangement involving a highly questionable article and a domestic crisis that even the finest French chef cannot resolve.
What emerges is a finely balanced mechanism: affection expressed as confusion, and dignity maintained only through collective effort and selective amnesia. Elegant, chaotic, and impeccably pointless in the most entertaining way.
