As with most of the giants of late 19th- and early 20thcentury English literature, the vast majority of PG Wodehouse's readers today are nonwhite. Perhaps it was brutal colonial indoctrination that ensured the modern descendants of the aspirant imperial middle classes from Barbados to Burma still devour Maugham, Shaw and Kipling. Perhaps they just have good taste.
