"Spark is a natural, a paradigm of that rare sort of artist from whom work of the highest quality flows as elementally as current through a circuit: hook her to a pen and the juice purls out of her."

Stephen Schiff - The New Yorker

"Her books enact a modern anxiety about the viability of fiction while being full of old-fashioned novelistic consolations and satisfactions."

James Wood - The Guardian

"A very rare bird…Spark explored [her] metafictional-theological theme further in the brilliant and audacious novellas The Driver’s Seat and Not to Disturb, which I especially admire."

David Lodge, author of Changing Places
