David John Lodge is an English author. In his novels, Lodge often satirises academia in general and the humanities in particular. He was brought up Catholic and has described himself as an "agnostic Catholic". Many of his characters are Catholic and their Catholicism is a major theme. Examples include his novels The British Museum Is Falling Down, How Far Can You Go? (published in the U.S. as Souls and Bodies) and Paradise News.
