This book is an intimate, fond and funny memoir of one of the
greatest novelists of the last century. This colourful, personal,
anecdotal, indiscreet and admiring memoir charts the course of
Muriel Spark's life revealing her as she really was. Once, she
commented sitting over a glass of chianti at the kitchen table,
that she was upset that the academic whom she had appointed her
official biographer did not appear to think that she had ever
cracked a joke in her life. Alan Taylor here sets the record
straight about this and many other things. With sources ranging
from notebooks kept from his very first encounter with Muriel and
the hundreds of letters they exchanged over the years, this is an
invaluable portrait of one of Edinburgh's premiere novelists. The
book will be published to celebrate the 100th anniversary of
Muriel's birth in 2018.
