Event 21 | Frances Wilson | Electric Spark

TICKETS ON GENERAL SALE FROM 29 AUGUST

The Enigma of Muriel Spark

From leading biographer and critic Frances Wilson comes a revealing, exhilarating, and landmark new look at Muriel Spark. Often described as ‘puzzling’, her books deal in word games, tricks and ciphers; her life was composed of weird accidents and strange coincidences. Using a wealth of archival materials, and following the clues, riddles, and instructions Spark planted in her writing, Frances Wilson aims to piece together this puzzle. We learn from her early years how her experiences became the material of her art.

In conversation with Daisy Goodwin.
