Philadelphia Inquirer - Michael Schaffer

[A]cidly funny tale of aging and death...a marvelously crafted, tautly written novel...

There is a Waugh—like brilliance to Memento Mori, in the easy economical narrative, the continuous convention producing a series of surprises, the well—cut dialogue, the controlled tone. This last is the most remarkable of Miss Spark's achievements. Nothing is forced, least of all the humor.
