Synopsis of The British Museum is Falling Down

En la Londres de los años 60, Adam Appleby, un estudiante de literatura inglesa y católico practicante, se enfrenta a un día lleno de contratiempos y preocupaciones. Casado y con tres hijos, Adam teme que su esposa esté embarazada de nuevo, lo que les supondría una carga económica considerable. A lo largo del día, Adam se ve envuelto en situaciones cómicas y absurdas, mientras intenta avanzar con su tesis doctoral en el Museo Británico. La novela es una sátira sobre la vida familiar, la religión y las convenciones sociales de la época, con un estilo que recuerda al de James Joyce.

About the author

David Lodge

David Lodge

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).
