David Lodge’s (1935 – 2025) career was one of international success and literary influence, in the realms of both fiction and non-fiction. His criticism, plays, biographies, memoirs and television scripts stand alongside celebrated novels like The British Museum is Falling Down, the Booker-shortlisted Small World and Nice Work, Therapy, Deaf Sentence and A Man of Parts, and show the range of a writer who was fascinated by everything the written word could achieve (from Publisher).
