Christiana Spens (born July 22, 1988) is a British novelist. She attended the University of Cambridge,[1] where she read Philosophy.
Her debut novel, The Wrecking Ball, was published by Beautiful Books Limited in the UK and Harper Perennial[2] in America, in 2008. The Sunday Herald called it "mighty good... She is an established raconteur of the party scene".[3][4] Guest of a Guest noted that, "Critics have said they see influences of Lewis Carroll, F Scott Fitzgerald and even Jean-Paul Sartre in Spens' writing... Her adventures are worth the quick read." [5]
Spens' second work, The Socialite Manifesto: One Day in the Life of Ivana Denisovich, was published by Beautiful Books Limited in February 2009.[6] It is an artist's book, or graphic novel, with illustrations by the author, and of a satirical and playful nature.[7]
