'One of the very best English comic novelists of the post-war era'
Time Out The plot lines of The Campus Trilogy, 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 Changing Places follows the
undistinguished English lecturer Philip Swallow and hotshot
American professor Morris Zapp as they exchange jobs, habitats and
eventually wives. Small World 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 Nice Work as
she shadows the factory boss Victor Wilcox. Sparks fly when their
beliefs and lifestyles collide.
