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.
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).
