«Intercambios» is the satirical novel by David Lodge, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (304 pages, in Spanish).
Morris Zapp, an American professor specialising in Jane Austen, and the British Philip Swallow exchange their posts for six months between the universities of Euphonia and Rummidge. Each must adapt to an unfamiliar environment and very different customs, leading to misunderstandings, romantic entanglements and absurd situations.
First instalment of David Lodge's Campus Trilogy. Volume 380 of the Panorama de narrativas collection, translated by Francesc Roca.
A read for those who appreciate British humour and satires on academic university life.
David John Lodge was an English novelist and critic. He was a literature professor at the University of Birmingham until 1987, and some of his novels satirise academic life, notably the "Campus Trilogy" – Changing Places: A Tale of Two Campuses (1975), Small World: An Academic Romance (1984) and Nice Work (1988). The latter two were shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Another theme is Roman Catholicism, beginning from his first published novel The Picturegoers (1960).
