Muriel Spark’s bracingly salty memoir is a no-holds-barred trip through an extraordinary writer’s life.
It is no surprise that one of Muriel Spark’s most lively and entertaining works would be her own memoir, Curriculum Vitae. Born to a Scottish Jewish father and an English Presbyterian mother, Spark describes her childhood in 1930s Edinburgh in brief, dazzling anecdotes. In one she recalls a cherished schoolteacher, Christina Kay, who would later be used as the prototype for Miss Jean Brodie. Spark boldly details her disastrous first marriage to Sydney Oswald Spark (S.O.S.) — himself thirty-two, she just nineteen — whom she followed to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and left behind to return to England. In the midst of WWII, Spark took a bizarre position working in the disinformation campaign of the British Secret Service, eliciting information from German POWs to combat Nazi propaganda. She later moved to the Poetry Society of London, where she mingled with literati and other intellectuals, befriended by some (such as Graham Greene, an early supporter of her work) and sparring with others. We experience Spark’s joy with the publication of her first novel, The Comforters, her trials with other writers’ envy, and her emergence as the most brilliant femme fatale of 20th-century English literature. 20 black-and-white photographsI am a Muriel Spark enthusiast, so I was excited to read CURRICULUM VITAE: A VOLUME OF AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

Spark approaches her childhood gently, viewing it through a veil of mist and time. The incidents and vignettes of her family life are told with a mellow and distant affection. She draws the backdrop of her childhood, 1930s Edinburgh, deftly and with great nostalgia. Descriptions of the soprano who lived above them, singing nightly; the Buttercup Dairy Company, where the girl on duty would cut, pat and stamp the butter into pretty portions; and the visitors to their home and their town, including a royal couple, are compelling. The most vivid scenes center on the James Gillespie School. Spark describes her teachers, fellow students, and... read more
