The world of scientific conferences is an endless journey, where the characters of the novel appear in London, Tokyo or New York. It is this “narrow world” that David Lodge describes in his witty, ironic novel about people obsessed with career, knowledge and love. The heroes - university professors, critics, writers - travel the planet in search of fame and recognition, but each time they find themselves in a web of funny misunderstandings, flirtations and academic rivalries. And in this kaleidoscope of events, a prestigious position at UNESCO becomes for them the new “Holy Grail”.
