I loved it then, as I do now. It has always made me laugh out loud' Helen Dunmore, The Times\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJim Dixon has accidentally fallen into a job at one of Britain's new red brick universities. A moderately successful future in the History Department beckons - as long as Jim can stave off the unwelcome advances of fellow lecturer Margaret, survive a madrigal-singing weekend at Professor Welch's, deliver a lecture on 'Merrie England' and resist Christine, the hopelessly desirable girlfriend of Welch's awful son Bertrand. Inspired by Amis's friend, the poet Philip Larkin, Jim Dixon is a timeless comic character, adrift in a hopelessly gauche and pretentious world, in a witty campus novel that skewers the hypocrisies and vanities of 1950s academic life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith an introduction by David Lodge\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45637334204595,"sku":"9780141182599","price":399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/91Vw0-NvZoL.jpg?v=1783076101","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/lucky-jim","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
