Robinson

Robinson displays the best of Sparkian satire, placing her at the heart of a great literary tradition alongside Waugh and Trollope, Wilde and Wodehouse. It demands rediscovery.

When a plane crashes on a remote island, the three survivors find themselves the unwanted guests of the island''s mysterious sole inhabitant, Robinson. In the blazing heat at the foot of a volcano, tensions come to a climax and events take an ominous turn when one of the party disappears. As one of the survivors begins to write a journal, reality increasingly blurs with fiction . . .

Robinson is Spark''s dark and sizzling tale of human manipulation.
