(Starks 97).

For in-text MLA citations, the author's last name and page number are required for a book citation. The author's name is first inside the parenthesis then it's followed by the page number. Do not include a "p" to show that it's a page number. It is considered known that the number is a page number so including the p would be a redundancy. If the author's name is said as the speaker of the quote, the name does not need to be inside the parenthesis, only the page number.
