Coconuts for the Saint
“Ms. Spark has a knack for the unpredictable that makes reading her novel a process of incremental discovery... The openness of her mind, the generosity of her narrative spirit, bring life to the book in, well, a magical way.”
--The New York Times Book Review

The Ghost of Bridgetown
"...a page turner--a break in the often artful yet sluggishly paced ranks of literary fiction.”
--New York Newsday

Curious Attractions:
Essays on Fiction Writing

“Littered throughout Curious are thoughts on writing from William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Joan Didion and other heavyweights... It turns her book into a symposium rather than a lecture, a discussion by the greats on how they craft stories.”
--Time Out Chicago

20 Under 30
"20 Under 30 should be patented--it's that full of miraculous invention, incantation, and heartfelt reality. This impressive anthology should be an annual event in American literature."
-- Jayne Anne Phillips
