The British Museum Is Falling Down
by David Lodge
You Must Read This!
The Rhythm Method is the curse of young Adam Applebys life and the
cause of his childrens. While Adam gestates his thesis in the British
Museum, his wife worries at home because her period is late and a fourth
little bundle of (expensive) joy seems to be on the way, thanks to Vatican
Roulette. Though Adams experience is constantly coloured by the authors
he is studying, one distinction remains clear: Literature is mostly about
having sex, and not much about having children. Life is the other way
round. A sharply perceptive comic novel, London Bridge is Falling Down
brilliantly captures the absurd, pitiful dilemma of Catholics in the days
when the Pill was just an enticing rumour.
Personal Review: The British Museum Is Falling Down by David
Lodge
David Lodge is a favorite author of mine, and his other three immensely
entertaining and funny novels are Paradise News, Therapy, and Small
World.Lodge is a craftsman, and it is sheer pleasure to read his sentences.
His knowledge of and facility with Anglo-Catholicism is unique, especially
since he can turn it into laugh-out-loud comedy. His characters are well
developed and garner your sympathy, and he leaves you with a rare sense
of our humanity and shared irony. Again, he is a craftsman, and his writing
is superb. This novel is short and especially funny. Don't miss it!
