- Description
- Award-winning Scottish novelist Muriel Spark was described by the New York Times as "one of this century's finest creators of comic-metaphysical entertainment." Spark's writing is terse, lyrical, and precise. She wields her words with the precision of a surgeon and her books are often eerie and unsettling without any discernible reason. Spark's novels frequently involve Catholicism, class division, death, and tragic dysfunction. She'll occasionally throw in some shocking violence for good measure. Yet, in spite of these heavy matters, Spark's work shines with a sardonic wit and a fierce intelligence. Start with: The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
