About this title: A day in the life of Adam Appleby, a graduate student, father of three, Catholic--this is the day his wife Barbara tells him she might be pregnant with a fourth child, forcing him to confront both the academic and domestic pressures bearing down on him. Lodge uses Joyce's ULYSSES as a template for exploring the life of this beleaguered, anxious, harried young man. It is also the first of Lodge's novels written in the highly satiric style for which he is now so well known and acclaimed.

"David Lodge is a very funnyu writer about academia and all sorts of upper class twits in British Society. This novel, set in the British Museum, that singular repository of history and imperial learning is especially funny, especially if you have ever tried to navigate the place with ease."
"This was the first of David Lodge's books I read and it's still one of my favorites. It brought back things I'd forgotten about the 1960s: birth control, particularly.
The literary references are delightful.
Not beling Catholic or English myself, I've found the lives of his English Catholic characters intresting in all his books where they appear."
"Very funny, good, not great. I laughed out loud many times. Provides an interesting window into a real issue for Catholics then and now. Definitely a good read for all, I think.
The more I think about this book, the more I am impressed with Lodge's writing. He really has an incredible gift for humor. Adam Appleby is a great, great character."
