Shortlisted for the Best of the James Tait Black Prize

'A brilliant virtuoso writer with a strong inventive power, a sharpness in conveying cultural textures, a great liveliness of intelligence . . . The Mandelbaum Gate is a fascinating performance' Malcolm Bradbury, New York Times

Notă biografică

Muriel Spark (1918–2006) was a prolific Scottish novelist, short story writer, and poet whose darkly comedic voice made her one of the most distinctive writers of the twentieth century. Spark grew up in Edinburgh and worked as a department store secretary, writer for trade magazines, and literary editor before publishing her first novel in 1957. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1961), considered her masterpiece, was made into a stage play, a TV series, and a film. Spark became a Dame of the British Empire in 1993.
