The literary guide opens the issue: “The Wodehouse Case.” The title, of course, is a pun: here is both literature as the classic’s life’s work, and an event catastrophic for the reputation of the British author - work on German radio during the Second World War. The English writer Robert McCrum (1953) is trying to sympathetically understand the intricacies of this biography, fragments of whose book “The Life of Wodehouse” are published by IL magazine translated by Andrei Azov and Igor Mokin.
