20th century Scottish novelist, poet and essayist

Wildly, beautifully timed comedy. Muriel Spark’s Venetian extravaganza is thoroughly enjoyable.

— Evening Standard

A highly entertaining novel: it seduces, it beguiles.

— David Lodge

Exhilarating, exuberant splendor.

— William Boyd

Gay inventiveness, salted with black humor.

— Sunday Telegraph

The clues are planted deftly and wittily. Territorial Rights is as brilliant as the best of its predecessors, which is saying a great deal.

— The Times Literary Supplement

Beautifully put together and effortlessly entertaining.

— Edmund White, New York Times
