Lodge, David. Changing Places: A Tale of Two Campuses.
Changing Places is David Lodge’s hilarious account of an academic exchange program which takes Philip Swallow, an obscure professor of English literature at an obscure red-brick university in England, to Lodge’s comic version of the Berkeley campus, which he renames Euphoric State.
Changing Places (1975), was Lodge's first book in a trilogy of campus novels. Inspired by his experience of teaching in California, the novel centres on two academics: Englishman Phillip Swallow from the University of Rummidge in the West Midlands, and Morris Zapp, an American from the State University of Euphoria (California), and their participation in an exchange programme that sees them.
