Contents:
'His mouth had been used as a latrine by some small creature of the night, and then as a mausoleum. During the night, too, he'd somehow been on a cross-country run and then been expertly beaten up by secret police. He felt bad.'
Jim Dixon has a terrible job at a second-rate university. His life is full of things he could happily do without: the tedious and ridiculous Professor Welch, a neurotic and unstable girlfriend, Margaret, burnt sheets, medieval recorder music and over-enthusiastic students. If he can just deliver a lecture on 'Merrie England', a moderately successful career surely awaits him. But without luck, life is never simple . . .

Thank you Boekentrol for this book which arrived on Friday, but the post office was closed when I got home and also closed on Saturday due to the celebration of our Constitution (which was signed on 17 May 1814).
I'm looking forward to read this book.

Arrived safe and sound to north Portugal. Thank you, MargaridaPires, for the book and for the lovely BookCrossing labels and stickers!
Not outstanding, but an overall enjoyable read, mainly for its satyrical take on the English class society of the 1950ies.
I guess I would have enjoyed it more if I was from the UK of if I had lived there.
In any case, I am glad I had the opportunity to read this book, so thanks to everyone who made it possible.
It is now available for new readers.
