I had a book launch scheduled for 3 years ago this week, which obviously became an early lockdown cancellation. my phone just reminded me of the launch party my 10 yo daughter hosted instead, with invites ("venue: the kitchen"; "food: yes") and this homemade poster.

From Waugh to Pym to Frayn to David Lodge, there are few things better than a great British comic novel, with smarts and heart and truth at its core. What a wonderful writer. Do start with the Campus Trilogy if you haven't read him.
theguardian.com
The author of more than two dozen books is best known for his trio set in a fictionalised version of the University of Birmingham, where he worked from 1960 to 1987

Very sorry to hear of the death of #DavidLodge, one of my favourite writers since my dad gave me Nice Work in 1988. I've written about his influence on me over the years, probably for the first time in this 2015 @IrishTimes piece @MartinDoyleIT
