When Phillip Swallow and Professor Morris Zapp participate in their universities' Anglo-American exchange scheme, the Fates play a hand, and each academic finds himself enmeshed in the life of his counterpart on the opposite side of the Atlantic. Nobody is immune to the exchange: students, colleagues, even wives are swapped as events spiral out of control. And soon both sun-drenched Euphoric State University and rain-kissed University of Rummidge are a hotbed of intrigue, lawlessness and broken vows...'Not since Lucky Jim has such a funny book about academic life come my way' - "Sunday Times". --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

“He taught them a game he had invented as a postgraduate student, in which each person had to think of a well-known book he hadn't read, and scored a point for every person present who had read it. The Confederate Soldier and Carol were joint winners, scoring four points out of a possible five with Steppenwolf and The Story of 0 respectively, Philip in each case accounting for the odd point. His own nomination, Oliver Twist — usually a certain winner - was nowhere.
' What d'you call that game ?' Melanie asked Philip.
