Loitering with Intent by Muriel Spark
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
Give me a Muriel and I am sure she would spark(le) for me. This was one book by her that I had been intending to read from quite a long time and finally when I did, it didn't let me down
A fine story that brings in an interesting amalgamation of author's life and a fiction world created by her. It felt like she had penned down her own experiences and weaved a story around it.
Fleur Talbot a novelist in making, works with high ended Sir Quentin Oliver and members of his Autobiographical Association. All the while writing her novel about this character named Warrender Chase. Lunatic Sir Quentin mysteriously steals her manuscript and then suddenly his life and life of members of the Autobiographical Association starts mimicking the lives of characters written in Fluer's novel.
The narrative is witty, funny and all in all very creative.
Absolutely loved it and recommend it
First Read of 2024 and what a great start
