In Loitering with Intent, Muriel Spark makes use of Fleur
Talbot, the narrator and main character of this novel, to display
her own narrative method. The book stands as a successful
achievement of fictional autobiography, in which the artist reflects
upon her work. This paper compares what Muriel Spark herself has
let us know about the creative process of her novels, with what, on
the same subject, is told by Fleur Talbot, who should be considered
as a reliable guide to explore the fiction of her creator.
