The Castaways (short story)

"The Castaways" is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, which first appeared in the Strand Magazine in June 1933, and was included in the collection Blandings Castle and Elsewhere, published in 1935.

The story is one of many narrated by pub raconteur Mr Mulliner, and concerns his nephew Bulstrode Mulliner, a writer in Hollywood. Wodehouse here compares the labor of writing of dialogue for talking movies to being stranded on a desert island.[1]
