About This Item
London: Macmillan, 1970. First edition. Hardcover, 150 pp. Green cloth binding shows light shelfwear Moderate foxing on top of bookedge. The eye-catching dust jacket is slightly toned and darkened at edge and worn at edges of spine, but otherwise clean and bright. The Driver's Seat is one of Spark's most fascinating books, a dark and eerie psychological tale that was marketed as a "metaphysical thriller" when it debuted. The main character, Lise is distracted by her life, and scattered in her thoughts, so she sets out to leave her job for a holiday, but things turn out considerably worse. The book made a huge impression on second-wave feminist scholars.
