“One’s prime is elusive. You little girls, when you grow up, must be on the alert to recognise your prime at whatever time of your life it may occur. You must then live it to the full.”
― Muriel Spark, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

From the archive for Muriel Spark, #BornOnThisDay in 1918, my thoughts on THE BALLAD OF PECKHAM RYE.
A young man’s arrival in Peckham wreaks havoc on the community, disturbing residents’ lives in the most insidious of ways! #MurielSpark #BOTD #BookSky 💙📚

it never really occurred to her that literary men, if they like women at all, do not want literary women but girls.

It was through the Rees/Robertson connection that I was able to acquire the author-corrected proofs and typescript of James Kelman's A Dissafection and The Burn - again, to be discussed at some future point

Muriel Spark – The Public Image (1968). Booker-shortlisted novel. An actress obsesses over her public image above all else. She has a loveless marriage and her jealous husband finds an extreme way to ruin her career. Intriguing and sharply satirical, but somehow oddly unlikeable. #MurielSpark

★★★★★ #FrancesWilson ELECTRIC SPARK - THE ENIGMA OF #MURIELSPARK - Frances Wilson employs her full artistic power to keep pace with Spark’s fantastic and fugitive life - review by Claudia Bull @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social www.theartsdesk.com/books/france...
My vlog review of THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE by Muriel Spark. Sharp and witty, the novel challeges the reader to make sense of the very problematic title character. It's excellent, BTW.

The Bachelors by Muriel Spark, c1960. 3 men on the cover wear fedoras and a bowler hat, suits and ties.
Muriel Spark and Barbara Pym wrote novels set in mid-century London. When I tried to imagine their characters living in the same universe, I decided Pym's characters in The Sweet Dove Died were cynical enough to be in Spark's The Bachelors. #MurielSpark #BarbaraPym #Books
I think that authors’ ghosts creep back
Nightly to haunt the sleeping shelves
And find the books they wrote.
Those authors put final, semi-final touches,
Sometimes whole paragraphs.
#MurielSpark Authors’ Ghosts
Full poem in this excellent piece by Ali Smith from 2018
Cover of Virago Classics edition of A Far Cry From Kensington
It is a good thing to go to Paris for a few days if you have had a lot of trouble, and that is my advice to everyone except Parisians
