All the Stories of Muriel Spark by Muriel Spark
All the Stories of Muriel Spark spans Dame Muriel Spark's entire career to date and displays all her signature stealth, originality, beauty, elegance, wit, and shock value. No writer commands so exhilarating a style -- playful and rigorous, cheerful and venomous, hilariously acute and coolly supernatural. Ranging from South Africa to the West End, her dazzling stories feature hanging judges, fortune-tellers, shy girls, psychiatrists, dress designers, pensive ghosts, imaginary chauffeurs, and persistent guests.
"Dullness is as as foreign to her as inelegance" -- Patricia Craig - The New Statesman
"Spark's marvelous control of ambiguities and language continues to dazzle." -- Publishers Weekly
"That Spark is one of the most important voices in 20th-century British literature has, quite correctly, become an accepted truth." -- Belles Lettres
"To read Spark is to encounter delight after delight." -- Georgia Review
"[Spark's writing is] likely to go on being read as long as fiction in English is read at all." -- The New York Times Book Review
"One of my special personal favorites is Muriel Spark …. Introduce her to a generation of new readers. Recommended." -- Patricia A. Kossmann - America
