David Lodge: Memento Mori is 'an exhilarating and life-enhancing read'

Posted by in Reader Feedback

David Lodge reviewed Muriel Spark's brilliant, darkly comic novel Memento Mori in the Guardian, calling it one of the great novels of the 1950s and saying it is as fresh and original today as when it was first published.

He said: 'Muriel Spark's novel may be about the various physical and mental afflictions of old age, but far from being depressing or morbid, it is a wonderfully funny and exhilarating read.' Read the full review at www.guardian.co.uk.

Memento Mori was re-issued in the Virago Modern Classics range in February 2010.
