A Funny Old Year by Alan Brownjohn
Enjoyable read. Story about disgruntled Polytechnic (new university) lecturers at end of careers. More down-to-earth than similar novels by David Lodge, Malcolm Bradbury, and Tom Sharpe. Slightly odd format with no chapters. But some very amusing bits. In particular when in bed with a student who is demanding an A! The lecturer is worried that he has overpromised. But she works her charms on the external examiner as well!
