The Campus Trilogy - Thryft

Academic satire revealing academia's quirky underbelly.

If you find the often untold idiosyncrasies of academic life amusing or if you're part of that world yourself and in need of a good-natured laugh, 'The Campus Trilogy' might just be the perfect blend of sophistication and humor for you. David Lodge playfully navigates through the lives of eccentric academics, making sharp, humorous observations that are bound to resonate with anyone who's experienced the cloistered life of universities.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

"A trio of dazzling novels in a comic mode that the author has now made completely his own...a cause for celebration." - The New York Times Book Review David Lodge's three delightfully sophisticated campus novels, now gathered together in one volume, expose the world of academia at its best-and its worst. In Changing Places , we meet Philip Swallow, British lecturer in English at the University of Rummidge, and the flamboyant American Morris Zapp of Euphoric State University, who participate in a professorial exchange program at the close of the tumultuous sixties. Ten years later in Small World , older but not noticeably wiser, they are let loose on the international conference circuit-along with a memorable and somewhat oversexed cast of dozens. And in Nice Work , the leftist feminist Dr. Robyn Penrose at Rummidge University is assigned to shadow the director of a local engineering firm, sparking a collision of ideologies and lifestyles that seems unlikely to foster anything other than mutual antipathy.
