Synopsis
From the cruel irony of 'A Member of the Family' to the fateful echoes of 'The Go-Away Bird' and the unexpectedly sinister 'The Girl I Left Behind Me', Muriel Spark probes the idiosyncrasies that lurk beneath the veneer of human respectability, displaying the acerbic wit and wisdom that are the hallmarks of her unique talent.
The Complete Short Stories is a collection to be loved and cherished, from one of the finest short story writers of the twentieth century.
"None could equal the cool perception with which she chronicles the darker mysteries of the human condition" - Evening Standard
-
"One of the most decisive and unmistakable voices in contemporary fiction - youthful, witty, sly, maternal, intimate and alive with opinion" - New Yorker
