David Lodge's campus novel trilogy are three very clever novels. The first (Changing Places)is a comic analysis of British and American university systems, as well as a parody of narrative structures (with each chapter written in a different style). The second (Small World) is a comic take on academic conferences, as well as a parody of Arthurian legend. The third (Nice Work) mocks both the 19th-century British industrial novel and literary theory. These are funny books for any literate reader, but are hilarious for anyone who has experience in academia!
