Three Novels: Ginger, You're Barmy / The British Museum Is Falling Down / How Far Can You Go?

by Thomas Dilworth

Three novels from David Lodge, all in one volume. First 'Ginger, You're Barmy', an account of life as a National serviceman; then 'The British Museum is Falling Down', a comic portrait of a recently married postgraduate student taking refuge in fantasy from the Vatican's ruling on contraception; and 'How Far Can You Go?', which features a group of students over three decades of shifts in the rules of religion and society. Read together they give some impression of how David Lodge developed as a novelist.
