The Man Who Wouldn’t Get Up and Other Stories by David Lodge: £8.99, Vintage -David Lodge is often touted as the quintessential British post-war novelist: facetious but not fatuous, irreverent but not iconoclastic, wry, perceptive and inhumanly industrious. Since his 1960 debut novel, The Picturegoers, he has published dozens upon dozens of novels, essays, memoirs, screenplays and short stories – many of which make their way into this newly published collection by Vintage. As with Murakami, Lodge’s preoccupations in these stories tend to be masculine, though not exclusively. The stories deal with the tumult and mysteries of relationships in a style at once serious and farcical. (To one story – a modern reimagining of Robert Brownings’s poem My Last Duchess – he gives the title My Last Missis). This collection shows Lodge at his most playfully imaginative.
