Summary "Something New" by P. G. Wodehouse is a humorous novel likely written in the early 20th century. It unfolds in the lively atmosphere of London, centering on the character Ashe Marson, an American writer living in modest circumstances who is grappling with feelings of discontent and yearning for adventure in his life. The opening of the book introduces a bright Spring morning in London, where Ashe is determined to engage in his unconventional exercise routine despite the laughter it provokes in passersby. In a moment of embarrassment triggered by the laughter of a beautiful girl named Joan Valentine, Ashe's morning exercises are interrupted, leading to an unexpected conversation with Joan. As they bond over their parallel experiences as American expatriates in England, Joan encourages Ashe to seek out new opportunities and adventures instead of settling into a mundane routine. This chance meeting marks the beginning of a transformative journey for Ashe, highlighting themes of ambition, self-discovery, and romance. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
