Author of the Month: Muriel Spark
In advance of the centenary of her birth on 1 February, we have declared Muriel Spark our author of the month for January. Celebrated chiefly for her novels, Spark was also a talented poet, essayist and critic. John Updike wrote of her in the New Yorker ‘Muriel Spark’s novels linger in the mind as brilliant shards, decisive as a smashed glass is decisive.’ Read more about her life and work here, or drop in to Bury Place to browse our dedicated Spark table.
