After Bakhtin by David Lodge
A study of the Russian literary theorist, Mikhail Bakhtin, whose ideas are coming under increasing scrutiny in the West. Lodge explores his work on the dialogic nature of language, the typology of fictional discourse, and the carnivalesque, with reference to writers from Austen to Kundera.

(1980), which was Whitbread Book of the Year, Small World (1984), which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, Nice Work (1988), which won the Sunday Express Book of the Year Award, Thinks... (2001), Author, Author (2004) and, most recently, A Man of Parts (2011). He has also written stage plays and screenplays, and several books of literary criticism, including The Art of Fiction (1992), Consciousness and the Novel (2002) and The Year of Henry James (2007). His works have been translated into 25 languages. He is Emeritus Professor of English Literature at Birmingham and continues to live in that city.
