The Driver`s Seat

Described as “a metaphysical shocker” at the time of its release, Muriel Sparks` `The Driver`s Seat` is a taut psychological thriller, published with an introduction by John Lanchester in Penguin Modern Classics. Lise has been driven to distraction by working in the same accountants` office for sixteen years. So she leaves everything behind her, transforms herself into a laughing, garishly-dressed temptress and flies abroad on the holiday of a lifetime. But her search for adventure, sex and new experiences takes on a far darker significance as she heads on a journey of self-destruction. Infinity and eternity attend Lise`s last terrible day in an unnamed southern city, as she meets her fate. One of six novels to be nominated for a `Lost Man Booker Prize`, `The Driver`s Seat` was adapted into a 1974 film, `Identikit`, starring Elizabeth Taylor.
