A few years back when #IdrisElba was being mentioned a lot for the next #JamesBond , I thought "No, he should be the next #HarryPalmer !"

#LenDeighton

This one sounds like my kind of thing.
A disappointing farce.

Der Autor Len Deighton ist gestorben.

Ich habe seine "Bernard Samson" Reihe gelesen, nachdem ich gehört hatte, dass Tarantino mal über deren Verfilmung nachdachte und in "Jackie Brown" dann auch den Roman "Berlin Game" in die Hände von Robert Forster legte.

Kann ich empfehlen, wirklich guter Stoff! 👍

Len Deighton, spy novelist and author of The Ipcress File, dies aged 97

British writer brought wit, realism and class consciousness to cold war espionage fiction, reshaping the genre in the 1960s

The Guardian
What a fine long life well lived (bizarrely, we've recently been re-watching the Michael Caine trilogy of movies but time to re-read at least some of the novels now. And to find his Action Cookbook, which I know my dad rated:)
Had no idea he'd written the screenplay for 'Oh, What a Lovely War!' and hope that'll be broadcast/streamed/screened again ASAP

Incredible innings for #LenDeighton. RIP. Might have to watch The Ipcress File again …

Enjoying my #MorningtonCrescent books… great #LeCarre short story in the Almanac! Don’t tell the Russian bot farm… it’ll blow their minds (also, couple of good recipes to please the #LenDeighton fans!)
