This study examines his work from \u003ci\u003eThe Picturegoers\u003c\/i\u003e (1960) to \u003ci\u003eTherapy\u003c\/i\u003e (1995). There are chapters on Lodge's early, mainly realistic, fiction; on his trilogy of campus novels, \u003ci\u003eChanging Places, Small World\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNice Work\u003c\/i\u003e; and on his interest, sometimes light-hearted, sometimes deeply serious, in Catholicism, notably in \u003ci\u003eHow Far Can You Go?\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eParadise\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e News\u003c\/i\u003e. Lodge's practice as a novelist has been paralleled over the years by his work as a literary critic and theorist who is keenly interested in fictional form. There is an account of his critical writing, and the study concludes with an assessment of Lodge's achievement as a best-selling novelist with intellectual interests in criticismand theology, who has successfully brought together observant realism, metafictional consciousness and dazzling comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47591644889239,"sku":"9780746307557","price":3444.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780746307557.webp?v=1774973963","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/david-lodge-9780746307557","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
