Lucky Jim

Experience the hilarious misadventures of Jim Dixon, a struggling medieval history lecturer at a provincial university who must navigate a world filled with dull and detestable English academics who he must simultaneously endure and impress to maintain his job and win the heart of the woman he loves. This artful and enduring work of English comic writing is an attack on boredom in all its forms and a ruthless satire of postwar manners, making it a must-read for fans of traditional comic novels like those of Wodehouse and Waugh.
