People have written about Muriel Spark so often that every piece now has to be a kind of meta- or meta-meta-criticism. Leo Robson is up to the task in the latest Bookforum, with nice excursions into Robbe-Grillet, Frank Kermode, Ian McEwan & John Updike.

"Resurrection," the black sheep of Tolstoy's fiction, is far more dramatically adroit than its reputation had led me to believe; but its absolutist ethics are thrilling and unsettling too. My look at a novel that was censored in its time and will still shake you up today.
