J'attendais plus d'humour et moins de grandes déclarations sur le catholicisme de l'auteur, trop présent, voire pesant tout au long du récit... que je n'ai d'ailleurs pas fini, tellement la vie de ce monsieur m'a semblée ennuyeuse et pédante.

As a memoirist, he remains duty-doing, his prose the equivalent of someone wearing a tie knotted so tightly at the neck it threatens to throttle the wearer. He writes about himself as if about someone else: Lodge the literary critic writes about Lodge the novelist as if the two were not the same man. Commentaries on his own work are excruciatingly self-conscious Appartient à la série
'I drew my first breath on the 28th of January 1935, which was quite a good time for a future writer to be born in England...' The only child in a lower-middle-class London family, David Lodge inherited his artistic genes from his musician father and his Catholic faith from his Irish-Belgian mother. Four years old when World War II began, David grew to maturity through decades of great social and cultural change - giving him plenty to write about. Candid, witty and insightful, Quite a Good Time to be Bornilluminates a period of transition in British society, and charts the evolution of a writer whose works have become classics in his own lifetime.
