Robert: > Is Muriel Spark still writing? Her latest novel _The Finishing School_ was published last year, as Judy mentioned. I read it recently. It's good Spark - clever, spare and sinister and morally ambiguous, but less intriguing and with less atmosphere than much of her earlier (pre-late-80s) stuff, I thought. But then perhaps it's just me getting old again.
