Query: Try Lucky Jim

A lot like Kingsley Amis' Lucky Jim, but not as subtle or imaginative in the writing. Both novels are based on stories of failed, very selfish academics. The surprise in Lucky Jim is that the failed academic is fired (or at least fails to leap over the probation bar). If you want to read a novel of this kind, Lucky Jim is more appealing (in the writing more than in the character). Forced humour in both, I thought.
