David John Lodge CBE (born 28 January 1935) is an English author and literary critic. Lodge was Professor of English Literature at the University of Birmingham until 1987, and he is best known for his novels satirising academic life, particularly the "Campus Trilogy" — ''Changing Places: A Tale of Two Campuses'' (1975), ''Small World: An Academic Romance'' (1984), and ''Nice Work'' (1988). ''Small World'' and ''Nice Work'' were both shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Another major theme in his work is Roman Catholicism, beginning from his first published novel ''The Picturegoers'' (1960). Lodge has also written several television screenplays and three stage plays. Since retiring from academia he has continued to publish works of literary criticism, which often draw on his own experience as a practising novelist and scriptwriter. ==Biography== David Lodge was born in Brockley in south east London. His father, a violinist, worked in the orchestra pit of south London cinemas playing music to accompany silent movies. Lodge's first published novel ''The Picturegoers'' (1960) draws on his early experiences in 'Brickley' (based on Brockley), and he revisits them again in a later novel, ''Therapy''. World War II forced Lodge and his mother to evacuate to Surrey and Cornwall.〔Martin. ''David Lodge''. p.xv.〕 He attended school at the Catholic St Joseph's Academy, Blackheath.
