From the author of THE BALLAD OF PECKHAM RYE. In the staff quarters, the servants led by Lister, the cool, unflappable butler are preparing for the downfall of the Baron and Baroness. Meanwhile in the attic, the Baron's invalid brother awaits his fate as an unwitting pawn in their devious plans.

Review
A very rare bird...Spark explored [her] metafictional-theological theme further in the brilliant and audacious novellas The Driver's Seat and Not to Disturb, which I especially admire. -- David Lodge, author of Changing Places
A very rare bird Spark explored [her] metafictional-theological theme further in the brilliant and audacious novellas The Driver s Seat and Not to Disturb, which I especially admire. --David Lodge, author of Changing Places"
Spark is a natural, a paradigm of that rare sort of artist from whom work of the highest quality flows as elementally as current through a circuit: hook her to a pen and the juice purls out of her.--Stephen Schiff
Her books enact a modern anxiety about the viability of fiction while being full of old-fashioned novelistic consolations and satisfactions.--James Wood
