Len Deighton revolutionized spy fiction with his unnamed, working-class anti-heroes whose cynical realism and bureaucratic worlds offered a sharp contrast to glamorous spies, leaving a lasting mark on the genre. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/03/24/world/len-deighton-dies-aged-97/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #lendeighton #authors #literature #movies #harrypalmer #michaelcaine #sloughhouse #slowhorses #ianfleming #johnlecarre #jamesbond #georgesmiley #bernardsamson

Six decades ago, Len Deighton created a man for our times

Unlike Ian Fleming and John le Carre, creators of James Bond and George Smiley, respectively, Deighton never worked for the British intelligence service.

"A Dry Martini. One. In a deep champagne goblet. Three measures of Gordons, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel."
- Ian Fleming, "Casino Royale"

I love James Bond, and the original Fleming novels are such fun and dark little noir espionage tales. Bond is a real bastard in those books, and he's fascinating.

“I’ve read a lot of #spynovels and I don’t like the #genre as it is sometimes characterized. For example, I don’t have a huge amount of time for #IanFleming. What I’m interested in is those #novels that are #literarynovels smuggled in through the generic window.” fivebooks.com/best-books/t... #books

The Best Literary Spy Novels

The Best Literary Spy Novels

The best spy fiction combines the genre’s thrills and intrigue with profound moral and existential questions about what it means to be human, argues novelist Alex Preston. Here, he discusses five of his favourite literary spy novels, ranging from colonial Vietnam to contemporary London.

Non tutti sanno che #IanFleming, il creatore di #JamesBond, ha scritto anche altri libri tra cui quello da cui è tratto questo #film anni 60 con un'eccellente colonna sonora. Chissenefrega? Ci sta. Ma figuratevi quanto interessa la nostra opinione al protagonista dello stesso, #DickVanDyke, che oggi compie 100 anni.
