    CHANGING PLACES: A TALE OF TWO CAMPUSES

    Book ID/图书代码: 03540004B05207

    English Summary/英文概要: Euphoric State University, with its whitestone, sundrenched campus, and England’s damp red-brick University of Rummidge have an annual exchange scheme. Normally the exchange passes without concern.

    But when Philip Swallow swaps with Professor Zapp the Fates play a hand, and the two academics find themselves enmeshed in a spiralling involvement on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Nobody is immune: students, colleagues, even wives are swapped as the tension increases. Finally, the cat is let out of the bag with a flourish that surprises even the author himself.

    Chinese Summary/中文概要: 這是一部別開生面的小說。小說對當代美國風行的“換妻”風做了調侃式反映。紮普教授與史沃婁教授在一項校際交流計畫中互換了妻子,職位,家庭和汽車。在新的組合中,發生了一系列意想不到的戲劇性衝突,他們不知道怎樣適應對方卻已適應了對方。在結尾中,兩對男女會晤美國,但不知是原配重歸於好為好,還是正式“換位”好。(RUBY)

    Awards/获奖情况:David Lodge’s sharply funny trilogy set in academe toggles between the very American Euphoria State University and the utterly British University of Rummidge. ---Entertainment Weekly

    Anyone intrigued by differences between American and British academic institutions will find this an amusing and accurate send-up. David Lodge, portraying two American and British professors who replace one another at their respective institutions, gives greed, pettiness, and pretense full rein.---Amazon.com Review

    About the Author/作者介绍: 戴维·洛奇(David Lodge, 1935— )是一位享有世界声誉的英国小说家兼文学批评家。他从1960年发表作品,至今已有11部长篇小说问世,它们被翻译成了25种文字在全球各地出版。《小世界》等作品中译本的出版使他在中国,特别是在中国知识界广为人知。他的小说以机智诙谐的语言、有趣的构思、各种传统和新潮小说技法的灵活运用,受到了包括普通读者、知识分子和批评家在内的广大读者的喜爱。
    戴维·洛奇1935年生于伦敦,先后就读于伦敦大学和伯明翰大学,获博士学位。从1960年至1987年一直在伯明翰大学英语系任教。1987年提前退休成为专业作家,但仍为伯明翰大学荣誉教授,并一直担任英国皇家文学会会员。
    作为身兼二职的学者型作家,戴维·洛奇总是试图在小说中反映学术界的各种现象。他的最著名的小说几乎都是以知识分子(校园内外的教授与学生)为主要人物,以学术、文化界写作背景的。他的著名的“校园三部曲”可谓这方面的代表,这三部小说——《换位》、《小世界》和《美好的工作》具有互文关系,反映的基本上是与学术界相关的故事。
