[ noun ] English writer known for his humorous novels and stories (1881-1975) <noun.person>
In short, Le Dindon has become very English, more PG Wodehouse than Feydeau. Once you have accepted the change of genre, the piece flows along very nicely.
His hobby is punning (he thought of 'absinthe makes the heart grow fonder' before he saw it in a Christmas cracker) and his favourite author is PG Wodehouse.
No one doubts the technical calibre of PG Wodehouse in expressing himself.
The device of having characters not only speak their lines in character but also provide Wodehouse's narrative comments works comic wonders.
However much enjoyment Wodehouse may have given Waugh, the two writers are not to be bracketed together.
If all 18 of the Gershwin works are published, it will more than double the existing Gershwin solo sheet-music repertoire, Wodehouse said.
It would be perverse to criticise Wodehouse for liking lots of it; and it may seem equally perverse to complain of his imperturbable good-naturedness.
