The Campus Trilogy

Zusatztext

<p>'One of the very best English comic novelists of the post-war era'<i>Time Out</i></p><p>The plot lines of<i>The Campus Trilogy</i>, radiating from its hub at the redbrick University of Rummidge, trace the comic adventures of academics who move outside familiar territory. Beginning in the late 60s<i>Changing Places</i>follows the undistinguished English lecturer Philip Swallow and hotshot American professor Morris Zapp as they exchange jobs, habitats and eventually wives.<i>Small World</i>sees Swallow, Zapp, Persse McGarrigle and the beautiful Angelica Pabst jet-set about the international conference scene, combining academic infighting and tourism, esoteric chat and romance. And finally, the feminist lecturer Robyn Penrose swaps the industrial novel for a hard hat in<i>Nice Work</i>as she shadows the factory boss Victor Wilcox. Sparks fly when their beliefs and lifestyles collide.</p>
