About This Novel
This is one of the early works of David Lodge, a representative writer of academic novels, and it is also his most autobiographical novel. Timothy Young, a British teenager who grew up during World War II, entered adolescence after the war. At the invitation of his sister Kath, he went to Heidelberg for vacation. My sister worked for the U. S. Army in Germany and lived a life of abundance that most Britons could only dream of. Timothy left the boring and gray London, discovered a colorful and shining world in Heidelberg, and experienced an unprecedented life. This trip profoundly affected his subsequent life path. An extraordinary coming-of-age novel, dedicated to you who are constantly trying to make breakthroughs on the road of life. This book was shortlisted for the 1970 "Missing Booker Prize".
