For the launch of its online forum, differences has published a short essay that began life as a contribution to Muriel Spark @ 101, at Harvard's Novel Theory seminar, hosted by @drbibliomane.bsky.social. Thank you to two extraordinary academic communities.
in "Muriel Spark's Conceits," Timothy Bewes argues that Spark's novels "discover the means or the possibility of a thought that is subjectively uninhabitable," a thought "that only the novel form is capable of" — read it here: differencesjournal.org/writing/muri... /2
Muriel Spark’s Conceits — differences: a journal of feminist cultural studies
This essay is about the role of the “conceit” in Muriel Spark’s novels, and its relation to “voice.” These two elements in her work, I will claim, are antithetical.
