In Electric Spark, Frances Wilson digs into Muriel Spark's young life, uncovering untold experiences and strange encounters that ultimately shaped Spark as a person and writer. Meanwhile, in Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife, Francesca Wade shares unseen writing from Stein's personal archive, revealing her radical nature and why Stein wanted to be remembered for her work, not her personality.
