«How Far Can You Go?» is David Lodge's novel, published by Gardners Books in paperback (243 pages, in English).
Polly, Dennis, Angela, Adrian and their generation move from the fifties to the seventies through the clash between the traditional Catholic Church and permissive society: the pill, the disappearance of hell, and movements like Catholics for an Open Church. Lodge tells it with satire and black humor.
Winner of the Whitbread Award in 1980; the first edition appeared that year and this edition is from 1981.
For readers of contemporary British fiction who appreciate satirical humor and generational portraiture.
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).
