'I'm a huge fan of Barbara Pym' RICHARD OSMAN
'My favourite writer . . . I pick up her books with joy' JILLY COOPER
'Beneath the gentle surfaces of her novels is a slow-building comedy, salt wit in a saline drip' NEW YORK TIMES
In a provincial university town, Caro Grimstone, a dissatisfied faculty wife, becomes the unwilling accomplice to her husband Alan's ambitions. When she volunteers to read to a blind, esteemed anthropologist in a nursing home, Alan seizes the opportunity to steal his papers - research that could both advance his reputation while refuting the findings of a respected colleague. A delightful comedy of manners with a touch of mystery, An Academic Question is prime Barbara Pym territory.©1986 The Estate Of Barbara Pym

Beneath the gentle surfaces of her novels is a slow-building comedy, salt wit in a saline drip
My favourite writer . . . I pick up her books with joy (Jilly Cooper)
She is the rarest of treasures; she reminds us of the heartbreaking silliness of everyday life (ANNE TYLER)
I am a huge fan of Barbara Pym (RICHARD OSMAN)
A splendid humorous writer (John Betjeman)
A modern Jane Austen (Alexander McCall Smith)
There is a thrill of humanity through all her work (Shirley Hazzard)
But although this was VERY well read, the ‘I’ of the book irritated me a lot. I know she’s a disempowered under-confident person. But give me Fanny Price any day!
Pym may have been aiming at a passive feminism, but to compare her to Austen,
as people have, makes me think they hadn’t read this one.
What do YOU think?
Hmmmm.
