Joy Cometh in the Morning (Audio)

By P. G. Wodehouse
Foreword by Joseph Bottum

David Aikman narrates this Trinity Forum Reading selection that helps us think about the grace of laughter.

“Joy Cometh in the Morning,” a Trinity Forum Reading, features a P. G. Wodehouse short story, “Lord Emsworth and the Girl Friend,” with a Foreword by Joseph Bottum, editor of the journal First Things. Bottum discusses the reasons a master of English prose would (seemingly) waste his talent on light comedy—and why we in the twenty-first century would do well to spend time with an author who offers the grace of laughter.

This audio edition is narrated by David Aikman, a Senior Fellow of The Trinity Forum and an award-winning author and journalist. It is packaged in a handsome CD-sized case designed for safe shipping.
