“Analysis has a way of unravelling the self: the longer you pull on the thread, the more flaws you find.”
“Morris read through the letter. Was it a shade too fulsome? No, that was another law of academic life: it is impossible to be excessive in flattery of one’s peers.”
I'm dedicating the 3rd volume of my novel "Marianne" - now almost complete editing and ready to publish - to the memory of #DavidLodge.

David Lodge: Remembering the Legendary 89-Year-Old Satirist Celebrated British author David Lodge, renowned for his unparalleled campus satire, passed away on January 1, 2025, at the age of 89. #DavidLodge #CampusSatire #LiteraryGenius #ChangingPlaces https://chicagosalud.com/entertainment/books/david-lodge-dead-at-89-remembering-the-master-of-campus-satire/
Personne ne parle de la mort récente de David Lodge et ça m'attriste. Souvenirs d'une causerie dans ma fac, on était allées le voir avec Maman qui l'adorait (à juste titre). Lisez le, relisez le, vous aurez affaire à de jolies émotions.
David Lodge -- whom I sadly never got the opportunity to interview or meet -- has passed. I ADORED his hilarious novels -- especially the Campus Trilogy. (One of his great jokes is the game of Humiliation in CHANGING PLACES.) There was a warmth and an empathy behind his often razor-sharp wit. I honestly found his academic satires more enjoyable than Kingsley Amis. This guy was SO underrated. RIP Mr. Lodge, and thanks.
My favorite author has now died. I recommend all his novels, which are mostly comedies that treat their characters well.
If you want to start, read his Campus Trilogy:
Changing Places
Small World
Nice Work
David Lodge's 'Campus Trilogy' was a hilarious send-up of academic life in the humanities in the final third of the 20th c: a world of visiting faculty, jet-setting conferences, and self-important theorising. #DavidLodge
El día 1 murió David Lodge.
Casi no me entero. Por lo visto no es tan conocido o comercial como otros escritores.
Lo que he leído de él es divertido y recomendable.
Ya tenéis para la lista de 2025 😉.
RIP David Lodge, beloved #author. I first came across Small World in its television adaptation before reading the book. It's still on my bookshelf today. A slightly romanticised view of academia. Or as this obituary puts it:
It was his campus novels that captured my heart. His trilogy Changing Places (1975), Small World (1984) and Nice Work (1988) are now tributes to the buoyant, optimistic world of well-respected and funded postwar academia.
Ha ben... j'ai lu presque tous ses romans :
- je n'ai pas lu les deux premiers qui n'ont pas été traduits en français
- je n'ai pas lu la pièce de théâtre romanisée
Et j'ai lu aussi sa seconde biographie romanesque.
Bref, je ne pensais pas en avoir lu autant de #davidlodge
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lodge
Et étrangement, j'associe #DavidLoge à #AlisonLurie que j'ai découvert exactement à la même époque par la même personne, les deux étaient chez le même éditeur français, sans compter que leurs romans se passent dans le milieu universitaire / aisé, donc forcément, il y a des similitudes et accointances.
David Lodge, the British novelist who was best known for his satirical books, has died at age 89. He was nominated for the Booker Prize for his campus novels "Small World" and "Nice Work," and was described by the Times of London as "probably the most distinguished novelist of his generation not to win [the Booker]." Here's @BBCNews's tribute to him.

Ho ? J'apprends que #DavidLodge est mort. Paix a son âme. #VendrediLecture
Le gant de Siegfried von Turpitz
L’Oreille tendue a des défauts. Parmi ceux-ci, il y a le fait d’attendre à la dernière minute pour organiser ses déplacements à l’étranger. Ainsi, en 1991, son incompétence viatique a fait s’allonger indûment un voyage à Wolfenbüttel. C’était il y a longtemps, mais l’Oreille a le souvenir de deux longs voyages en avion, suivis d’un trajet en train, couronnés par une excursion en autobus.

Furthermore, I toot the following articles or reviews from The Guardian:

— About “Small Word, by David Lodge [himself]”: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/jan/20/david-lodge-small-world-book-club
"RIP", as one says, David Lodge. Books remain, not only the exquisite “Small World”.

I just learned that David Lodge has passed on January 1st. His book "the Art of Fiction" was my introduction to literary studies in college. Since that time, I always followed him from the distance, and I always happily read his texts when I could. RIP #literature #DavidLodge #LiteraryStudies
