One of my favorite writers.
In her best-known work, “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie,” the Scottish author Muriel Spark was realistic about the effect a particularly magnetic figure can have on an impressionable young person, Emma Sarappo writes.

I don't find it sordid - but I do so love the word and how it morphed through the centuries.
We hope you don't find the etymology of 'tawdry' morally sordid, base, or distasteful.

Review: Joan Didion's 'Notes to John' may be a gift. And yet, I wish her the privacy she relished
