About book Grazie, Jeeves (1934)

Started to listen to this, but couldn't deal with the repeated use of the n-word in referencing a musical group. Figured there would be more uses of the word as the book went on as it seemed Bertie was excited about them, but I just couldn't take it. Wondered how the audio book reader managed to do it. Sorry as I liked the idea of Jeeves quitting and wanted to see where Wodehouse took that plot thread. I'm now afraid to take on another Wodehouse for fear of more of this. Did enjoy the first two I listened to. One of the funniest books I've ever read (I loved "The Confederacy of Dunces," with which TYJ shares some commonalities, but it didn't make me laugh at loud quite so much). It's not profound literature, but it's profoundly funny and well-crafted. The prose is impeccable, the characters sharply and humorously etched, and the humor constant and varied. This is the first Jeeves book I've read and I'm eagerly looking forward to the rest.
