Loitering with Intent

[1] It contains many autobiographical references to Spark's early career and was reprinted in 2001 by New Directions, in the US, and in 2007 by Virago Press in the UK (with a foreword by Mark Lawson).She manages to secure a job working for Sir Quentin Oliver as secretary to his Autobiographical Association, whose eccentric members are seeking to write their memoirs.(Being a Spark novel there is much play on the inter-relationship of texts, with Newman's Apologia and Cellini's Autobiography figuring as Fleur's essential reading.)Fleur assists them and begins to notice that parts of her novel start to occur in real life.Fleur becomes increasingly suspicious that Sir Quentin may be blackmailing, poisoning or corrupting the association's members.
