David Lodge wrote comic literary fiction and criticism, with universities, Catholicism, marriage and the habits of writers recurring throughout his work. Changing Places begins his Campus Trilogy by swapping British academic Philip Swallow with American professor Morris Zapp; Small World and Nice Work continue the satire through conferences, literary theory and industry.
