Deaf Sentence

by David Lodge. Just read this, loved it. I really enjoy his work and have read most of his books. Once again we are Academia, but this one is different in that the narrator is chronically deaf. He hasn't lost his sense of humour though, and that's what makes this book hilarious in parts. The whole story is based on the main character mis-hearing what a young lady says to him at a noisy party. Great idea, although I don't know if I'd have enjoyed it so much if I was deaf!
