Changing Places
Changing Places | David Lodge
4 posts | 16 read | 9 to read
When Philip Swallow and Professor Morris Zapp participate in their universities' Anglo-American exchange scheme, the Fates play a hand, and each academic finds himself enmeshed in the life of his counterpart on the opposite side of the Atlantic. Nobody is immune to the exchange: students, colleagues, even wives are swapped as events spiral out of control. And soon both sundrenched Euphoric State university and rain-kissed university of Rummidge are a hotbed of intrigue, lawlessness and broken vows...

Put this on the Comfort Reads shelf. Lodge has a light satirical voice and it was fun to watch an American in England and a Brit in America experience each other's 1960s academic culture.

In Lodge's "Changing Places," English professors play a game where they confess the most famous book that they have never read. The game ends in disgrace when someone admits to never having read Hamlet. I've never read Raymond Chandler (who died 60 years ago today). What's your confession?
