Summary: "David Lodge's three delightfully sophisticated campus novels, now gathered together for the first time in the U.S. in one volume, expose the world of academia at its best--and its worst. In Changing Places, we meet Philip Swallow, British lecturer in English at the University of Rummidge, and the flamboyant American Morris Zapp of Euphoric State University, who participate in a professorial exchange program at the close of the tumultuous sixties. Ten years later in Small World, older but not noticeably wiser, they are let loose on the international conference circuit--along with a memorable and somewhat oversexed cast of dozens. And in Nice Work, the leftist feminist Dr. Robyn Penrose from Rummidge is assigned to shadow the director of an engineering firm, sparking a collision of lifestyles that seems unlikely to foster anything other than mutual antipathy"--P. [4] of cover
