Ian Fleming Centenary

Today marks the centenary of Ian Fleming, writer and creator of James Bond (28 May 1908).

If your travels take you to London in the coming year, we recommend the first-ever exhibition dedicated to the life and work of Ian Fleming--For Your Eyes Only, at the Imperial War Museum.

Our Department of Dubious Honors notes that Devil May Care, a new James Bond book has been commissioned by Ian Fleming Publications Ltd., written by Sebastian Faulks, and will be released today.

We recommend you return to the originals by Ian Fleming. As John Cawelti and Bruce Rosenberg say, "no other writer so simply and forcefully expresses the basic formulaic structure of the heroic spy romance."
