i have only been watching jeeves and wooster (the 90s show, i mean) for a few days now (i've read the first book earlier this year) and i can already tell you with confidence that reginald jeeves is autistic

i think that the short story form is best for the mystery and detective genre in particular as it allows the development of intrigue and interest in such a brief period of time. i think that one of the essences of mystery is thrill and suspense, which, yes, can be built over a long time within a novel-length story, but i think that mystery short stories definitely have a charm that full-length mysteries, although wonderful, don't possess.

i mean, one of the first, argued to be *the* first, forms of a modern mystery is edgar allan poe's "the murder in rue morgue", a short story. another icon of mysteries is the sherlock holmes stories, the vast majority of which are short stories. the father of mysteries in japan, edogawa rampo-san, mostly wrote short stories and rarely any novels.

the mystery genre is aptly suited for short stories, and short stories are, in my opinion at least, the best form of mysteries

pg wodehouse: jeeves is a man of iron. he is secretive and serious. he does NOT smile or laugh or do any of those things. a subtle quirk of the lips only

stephen fry in 1990: actually jeeves CAN smile. but only a little, as a treat
