As you may remember, Sophie from Virago very kindly sent me a set of the Sparknovels which have been republished recently as Modern Classics, and I decided that it would be nice to have a Muriel Spark week on the blog.
So, do stop by this week when I will be re-reading Symposium and The Comforters and reading A far cry from Kensington and Loitering with intent.
I would also recommend the new biography of Muriel Spark by Martin Stannard which gives an excellent account of her life and an insight into the woman behind her writing.
I loved the film the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie but have yet to read a Muriel Spark novel. Really should read her soon!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see that film Mrs B - but only hugely expensive over here :(
ReplyDeleteSo, you mean a Muriel Spark week as opposed to a Barbara Pym one?!
ReplyDeleteThe Comforters is the only one of the four that I have yet to read so I'll be looking forward to your thoughts on that.
Hehe - what was I thinking?! Well spotted Claire
