"This is the third volume of Marianne, a book about a love story. An extraordinary love story between a girl and a man, with a difference of ages of 32. Don’t let yourself be fooled because it has also a lot of sex.
...
I dedicate this volume to the memory of Professor David Lodge, who passed away on January 1st this year, 2025. I can easily imagine his reaction after reading, for example, the first chapter of this third volume.
...
Marianne’s three volumes are also, in a very humble, limited and scarcely literary way, a satire of academic life - as are several of Professor Lodge’s books.
“Literature is mostly about having sex and not much about having children. Life is the other way round.”
– Lodge, David, The British Museum Is Falling Down, ch. 4"
