More about the book
Jim Dixon, brash, lower middle-class with a painfully obvious sense of humour, became the anti-hero for a whole generation. His social gaffes, cultural philistinism, inept relationships and blatant crawling to his superiors put him in the forefront of great and outrageously funny characters. The absurd and hilarious set pieces - the play reading in execrable French, the madrigal group, the lecture on Merrie England - are a brilliant send-up of academia.
