Small World (David Lodge)

 

It looks like this comment won't be a long one. It took me forever to read this book; I was not at all interested. Yes, there are twists in the story, but they feel like mere page fillers, and are not that riveting. OK, I laughed a little, and I enjoyed the idea of an UNESCO chair of literary criticism, with an amazing salary. It's nice to see contributions put to such a great use! I must avow that the reading was quite challenging, there were lots of words I did not know. Didn't write them down though.
