The Heart Of A Goof
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A cornerstone of comic literature, The Heart of a Goof is a brilliant collection of short stories by the masterful P. G. Wodehouse, united by the shared obsession of its hapless protagonists: the maddening, all-consuming game of golf. Set largely at the fictional Marvis Bay Golf Club, each tale is narrated by the Oldest Member, a wise and wry sage who holds court on the clubhouse steps and chronicles the romantic and sporting misadventures of his fellow golfers. Wodehouse wields his trademark wit with surgical precision, illustrating how the game has the power to ruin temperaments, doom love affairs, and — on rare, miraculous occasions — save them. The result is a perfectly crafted series of comedic vignettes that cement Wodehouse's reputation as the undisputed champion of English comic prose.
