'I drew my first breath on the 28th of January 1935, which was quite a good time for a future writer to be born in England...' The only child in a lower-middle-class London family, David Lodge inherited his artistic genes from his musician father and his Catholic faith from his Irish—Belgian mother. Four years old when World War II began, David grew to maturity through decades of great social and cultural change — giving him plenty to write about. Candid, witty and insightful, Quite a Good Time to Be Born illuminates a period of transition in British society, and charts the evolution of a writer whose works have become classics in his own lifetime.
