If you can get hold of them (they are hard to find) Jill Paton Walsh's superb (in my eyes) Imogen Quy novels - The Wyndham Case, A Piece of Justice, Debts of Dishonour and The Bad Quarto. She is the College nurse at a fictional Cambridge college, and shows a different perspective on academic life
All best

Amanda Cross (pseudonym of feminist critic, Carolyn Heilbrun) are very good. Virago published them in the 80s.

Have you tried Cynthia Franklin's Academic Lives or Zavattaro's reflections on academic lives?

Hello all,
Does anyone have any recommendations for good writing about the academic life? I'm looking for non-academic literature: memoirs, fiction, biographies etc. along the lines of Les Back's Academic Diary, or The Lecturer's Tale by James Hynes. And ideally more up to date than the classic campus novels e.g. Lucky Jim or The History Man.
Thanks!
Alex
