Changing Places by David Lodge
2.0

I read this book because the obituary of David Lodge, who died on January 1st, suggested that the book would be really interesting and funny. Unfortunately, for the most part neither was true for me. I am glad the book was short because I couldn't get much into the lives of the two, white middle age protagonist. The structure of the book with parallel sections and writing motifs for each character was a bit corny. While reading this book I thought of the books of Philip Roth which I favor, but not by much.
