Beschreibung

<p><b>'A brilliantly and preposterously funny book'<i> Guardian<br><br></i>'A flawless comic novel ... I loved it then, as I do now. It has always made me laugh out loud' Helen Dunmore, <i>The Times</i></b><br><br>Jim Dixon has accidentally fallen into a job at one of Britain's new red brick universities. A moderately successful future in the History Department beckons - as long as Jim can stave off the unwelcome advances of fellow lecturer Margaret, survive a madrigal-singing weekend at Professor Welch's, deliver a lecture on 'Merrie England' and resist Christine, the hopelessly desirable girlfriend of Welch's awful son Bertrand. Inspired by Amis's friend, the poet Philip Larkin, Jim Dixon is a timeless comic character, adrift in a hopelessly gauche and pretentious world, in a witty campus novel that skewers the hypocrisies and vanities of 1950s academic life.<br><br>With an introduction by David Lodge</p>
