In this vein of work, I also heartily recommend Kingsley Amis' "Lucky Jim" (1954), which arguably began the "campus novel" genre.

  Yes! Also Richard Russo's "Straight Man", which might be my favorite of all these novels about campus life.

      Wonderful book. I'm not sure that 'enjoy' is quite the term I'd use. For sure some of the tribulations experienced by Stoner would not be news to some sufferers in academia right now.
