A jolly collection of wit and one-liners from one of our best-loved humorists

This anthology is a feast of humour

The finest and funniest writer the past century ever knew

Sublime comic genius

The funniest writer ever to put words to paper

P.G. Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century

Witty and effortlessly fluid. His books are laugh-out-loud funny

The Wodehouse wit should be registered at Police HQ as a chemical weapon

The greatest comic writer ever

When it comes to humour, there is only one writer who can slay you with a mere flip of the pen. This, of course, is P.G. Wodehouse

Superlative.

Could not be more timely.

The Good Immigrant is that rarest of beasts, a truly necessary book.

I was deeply affected by The Good Immigrant, a vital and often bitingly funny series of personal essays

Should become required reading for a new UK citizenship test – one to be taken by everyone who was born here, that is.

A fascinating read

I was expecting something serious, even upsetting. The Good Immigrant is both at times, but the 21 essays are also engrossing, human and hilarious.

Sticks two fingers up at a discriminatory publishing industry.

The essays, in turns witty, uncomfortable and inspiring, would make for great reading at any time, but were especially welcome this year.

Existentially challenging to the status quo. It could not be more timely.

What a phenomenal book: timely, poignant and insightful. It deserves to be read as widely as possible.

Warm, funny and often moving. A delight.

Quite simply a wonderful antidote to the tired cliches.

A bold, beautiful and urgent book that should be read widely in these politically and racially charged times. It opened my eyes so much, and, in my opinion, is the most exciting publication of 2016.

I am stupidly grateful for this book. It opened my eyes to my own experience and gave me words for feelings I had known but never acknowledged. I carry it with me whenever I travel, to remind me that the world is good. Buy this book, carry it with you everywhere, give it to everyone you know. We need it now more than ever.

Here are a bunch of brave writers actually doing something about representation … an important book.

Incisive, funny, searingly honest … it contains work that should be read by all.

Brilliant, unclichéd, unique. A book of our time, which everyone must read.

I want everyone to read this book. I found myself nodding along, feeling the pain, hilarity and anger.

The Good Immigrant's strength not only comes in its numbers, but through the uniqueness of each essay inside, ranging from Coco Khan’s look at sexuality and fetishisation, through to Riz MC’s retelling of his typical treatment in airport security.

A stunning collection of original voices, challenging how we see race and difference.

I knew I'd be interested in this book. I didn't realise I'd be so moved. At a time when British identity is being claimed as the exclusive preserve of people who wish immigration had stopped with Hengist and Horsa, it does the heart good to be reminded of how many of us there are, and how deeply woven we are into the fabric of our country. It's a book that will make a lot of young Britons feel more powerful and less alone. Each essay is like another new friend standing up and saying to the reader, 'I see you.'
