Happily, no one excels Scots-born Novelist Muriel Spark at the satiric art of making the outrageous seem natural-and the natural outrageous.

Their little farm had been transformed only a few days before: the dirt yard had been laid with concrete, and plumbers had installed an indoor bathroom (wags dubbed it "John's John"). U.S. Secret Service Men literally had to use force to break the grips of hands that clutched at Kennedy.
