I decided to become a Muriel Spark completist because the woman was a genius and after FCFK I needed more. This book is light, clever and mirthful, the kind of book you start again as soon as you reach the last page. This quote is from Ali Smith's introduction:

In many ways the narrator is a joke, the narration a mocking of bad literary style – and as we know by the end of the book, it's been the narrator all along having the joke, and not on us, but with us.

What's this

This is where I keep track of the things that I read, watch, listen to and make. It's kind of my blog-pinterest-twitter and bookmark folder all in one. I keep it mainly for myself, because I have a bad memory, but it's public because I'm generous like that.
