Here's a tribute to Spark, by David Lodge and at the end of the page you will find other Muriel Sprak links.
Also, if you are a fan you should definitely listen to Muriel Spark discussing The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie on BBC 4's Bookclub. (The link is halfway down the page.) Even if you aren't a fan, you will want to read her books after you've heard her speak!
