Details
This 22-page semi-autobiographical story, set in Africa, explores standard Spark themes of fate, foreknowledge, and perception, as in her famous novel "The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie" . As novelist Malcolm Bradbury wrote, Spark is "a writer of brilliance and pain who from the start of her career has been exploring and developing some of the most complex aspects of the contemporary form of fiction". Dame Muriel Spark, a convert to Catholicism, was born in Scotland in 1918 and resided in Italy from 1967 until her death in 2006.
