Fleming. Ian Fleming.


Claremont Review of Books: Christopher Flannery has written a fascinating review of the new biography of Ian Fleming.

Update: I was stunned on the number of films that have been made from his James Bond novels.]

Apparently, there are two other bios of Fleming. This one sounds verrry tempting. But...how do we have any idea which ones are the best, most truthful in which to invest time and money without actually (lazy much, Jean?) reading all of them?

Jean,

My inclination would be to go with this one. It seems to have covered some territory missed by the others and the author is a good writer.

Whichever biographer, Fleming is an amazing character. Dickens would have loved him.
