What is Penguin Essentials Lucky Jim about?

**Penguin Decades bring you the novels that helped shape modern Britain. When they were published, some were bestsellers, some were considered scandalous, and others were simply misunderstood. All represent their time and helped define their generation, while today each is considered a landmark work of storytelling.*** * *Kingsley Amis's *Lucky Jim *was published in 1954, and is a hilarious satire of British university life. Jim Dixon is bored by his job as a medieval history lecturer.

And there's no denying how big an impact it had back then--*Lucky Jim* could be considered the first shot in the Oxbridge salvo that brought us *Beyond the Fringe*, *That Was the Week That Was*, and so much
