Publisher's Note
Increasingly relying on his loyal valet, Jeeves, alcoholic writer Alan Blair wonders at the valet's coincidental likeness to the famous character from the P. G. Wodehouse mysteries and travels to a New York artist colony, where a confrontation with a nosy sculptress prompts Jeeves to show his true colors.

Industry Reviews

"Ames's inventive romp follows its hero into very un-Wodehousian territory...."
New Yorker (07/05/2004)

"[L]augh-out-loud funny....WAKE UP, SIR! is a Wodehouse novel for the recovery era."
New York Times Book Review - Henry Alford (08/01/2004)
