	Amazon.com: Robinson (New Directions Classics): Books: Muriel Spark (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The ruminative Robinson is distinct among her novels for a number of reasons, not the least of which is its resemblance to the traditional realistic novel.
		Robinson is not written in the high satiric style for which Spark is most admired, nor is it an overtly experimental novel like The Driver's Seat (1970) or Not To Disturb (1971).
		Beneath the veneer of civility and cooperation that Robinson subtly enforces, the tension, ambivalence, and dislike among the four gradually increases, until a strange violence erupts and the survivors are forced to arm themselves against one another.

	Charles Robinson Biography
		Robinson's grandfather had made a living by engraving the drawings of other artists onto wood so that the resulting blocks could be incorporated with the metal type to be inked and pressed against paper to make multiple copies of newspapers, magazines and books.
		Many of Robinson's early efforts were enhanced by the effective application of mechanical tones (grays) and an additional color.
		Charles Robinson was obviously enthralled with the idea of the "gift book." Rather than drawing and painting pictures to put alongside an author's text, Robinson approached the task as creating a book that was a gift - with the illustrated equivilent of colorful wrappings and shiny ribbons.

		As Robinson moves from cheesy skinflicks to voyeuristic moralities, "little vignettes on the nature of power and control," and finally to an epic pornographic folly which coheres only in his own pathological imagination, Petit accordingly scales up his own narrative into a grand fable of lost identities in a disintegrating cultural landscape.
		Robinson then vanishes--apparently drowned--only to resurrect himself as a producer of low-budget porno films and impresario to a motley company of actors.
		Christopher Petit's "Robinson" is one of the finest and most neglected novels of the last twenty years.
