The essays, reviews, memoirs, and other writings collected here for the first time conjure up one of the great critical imaginations of our time. The Golden Fleece, which takes its title from Spark's first published essay, has four sections—Art & Poetry; Autobiography & Travel; Literature; and Religion, Politics & Philosophy—forming a kind of oblique autobiography, an evolving confession of a powerful individual faith in the human and what transcends it.
