With scintillating chapters on Kierkegaard, Sartre and her own profound reflections on art and death, Craig restores Spark to her rightful place at the top table of European thinkers. Coming on the back of Spark's centenary year this is a book that will resonate with her readers and, beyond Spark studies, will be of interest to all those wrestling with writing, religion and the philosophy and poetics of perception.-- ""Willy Maley, University of Glasgow""
