P. G. Wodenhouse Libri

L'Anonima Alcolizzati ha ispirato l'Anonima Scapoli, un'associazione creata per aiutare gli scapoli a resistere all'impulso di sposarsi. Quando un membro sente il desiderio di invitare una ragazza a cena, chiama gli altri per discutere la sua "follia". In questo modo, la calma sostituisce la tempesta e l'attacco di follia viene superato. Fondata dall'avvocato Ephraim Trout, l'associazione mira a salvare amici e clienti dai pericoli del matrimonio. Tuttavia, anche i più incalliti scapoli possono cadere in tentazione. Trout, nonostante sia riuscito a proteggere il suo cliente Ivor Llevellyn da cinque matrimoni e a evitare il "sesto incubo", alla fine si lascia conquistare da una vedova, ex infermiera, il cui affetto e le sue cure lo portano all'altare. Scritto nel 1973, il racconto rappresenta l'ultima produzione di Wodehouse. Pur essendo più semplice e meno articolato, mantiene la formula classica dell'autore, con trame intrecciate e un ritmo vivace. La narrazione continua a coinvolgere il lettore, suscitando curiosità su cosa accadrà nella pagina successiva.
