'The professor, the critic and the novelist work in harmony to provide a valuable tutorial on modern fiction' Observer

How does the novel represent human consciousness on the page?
In eleven sparkling essays on some of the great novelists of the last 200 years – from Charles Dickens to Martin Amis, Henry James to Philip Roth – David Lodge pursues this question with characteristic verve and wit. One of the best novelists and critics of his generation, Lodge is the perfect guide to look afresh at the mysterious workings of the creative mind.
