«Terapia» is the novel by David Lodge published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (445 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows Laurence Passmore, a television screenwriter who, amid a personal crisis and unexplained pains, turns to various therapies. Along the way he reflects on the absurdity of routine, the fleetingness of love and the meaning of happiness, in a bittersweet narrative that alternates humor with melancholy.
The novel was published in 1997 with a translation by Francesc Roca.
For readers of contemporary fiction, particularly those who appreciate twentieth-century English literature with a dose of humor.
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).
