The scene is Cambridge in the early 1960s. Ben Birt, an
intellectual Brando from a grammar school, sees the University
through proud, bawdy and anarchic eyes. Classless but deeply
class-conscious. Brought up on Shakespeare and the classics, much
influenced by contemporary French and American, he talks a vivid
new language. Ben, above all, is alive. He does: and does not
apologize for what he does. He gives to life without giving in; and
takes from life without being taken in. He ends up on his own,
beginning to see Cambridge has more to offer than a three years'
muckabout in a festering fen. 'Very clever indeed . . . This
portrait of la vie de boheme universitaire should raise squeals of
outraged delight . . . all along the line from Belgravia to
Budleigh Salterton.' Daily Telegraph
