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 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.
看到最後也不禁和主人公一起感嘆,這三百多頁的文字竟然隻發生在一周以內,印象深刻的是侍從Jeeves將人生與電影相比較,兩小時的電影是上百小時凝神拍攝的結晶,而數百萬時刻拼湊的人生,在瞬息之間便能完成迴憶和審視。The whole thing is a conundrum.
評分之前看過休叔的那版《Jeeves &Wooster》,感覺這本的模仿程度太重瞭,雖然也還是很有趣,
