Must add them to the large pile of unread novels! I don't think he's as 'bitter' about academia as people seem to think, either. More of a smart-arse, it seems, which I find potentially endearing.

Small World is a fave, also Nice Work. A great story about him: In one of his early novels he mentions that a character has identical twins, a boy and a girl. That one got past his editor, but in a later book he included a character who was so stupid that he wrote a book in which a character had identical twins, a boy and a girl. I found that very endearing. His fictional bio of Henry James (Author, Author) I read last year, and found it sad and involving. Love David Lodge. Small World is a fave, also Nice Work.
