Small World
Small World | David Lodge
2 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
Philip Swallow, Morris Zapp, Persse McGarrigle and the lovely Angelica are the jet-propelled academics who are on the move, in the air and on the make in David Lodge's satirical Small World. It is a world of glamorous travel and high excitement, where stuffy lecture rooms are swapped for lush corners of the globe, and romance is in the air...

#booktober Day 14: #BooksSetinaSchool David Lodge's Campus novels (Changing Places, Small World, and Nice Work) are all delightfully comedic. These novels are just the right mix of humor, romance and literary sarcasm. (Here's a photo of my gorgeous campus in the throes of autumn.)

This #FunFridayPhoto time is really difficult for me as there are so many campus novels that I adore. I've always loved reading about university. One of my favourites is David Lodge's 'Small world', the sequel to his 'Changing places' and a modern take on the grail myth, here in the setting of a conference on literary theory.

KikiLovesBooks This sounds fun...I'm not one for fantasy, but a novel like this makes me want to give it a whirl. I am interested in the grail myth so... 8y
scripturient @KikiLovesBooks It's not fantasy really. It's more that the scholars at the conference represent certain theories and mythical characters. There is a Percival and an old professor who represents the Fisher King. But it's really a campus novel at heart. :) 8y
KikiLovesBooks I will definitely check it out!!!! Thanks! 8y
