Description
The Man Upstairs is Wodehouse’s first collection of short stories after graduating from the school stories which with the benefit of hindsight were a blot on the old escutcheon. The Quality does vary from story to story but the good far outweighs the poor and the Wodehouse genius is definitely making it’s presence felt. In the Title story the man upstairs is not a reference to the God generally found in heaven accompanying the Larch on the Thorn in P G Wodehouse’s idyllic but an Artist attempting to court the composer downstairs by banging on the ceiling.
