Comments and Reviews


carey jeggs 27th Aug 2018		The most notoriously racist of the Bond novels although,to be fair,Fleming gives his black characters plenty of agency.There's a lot of sexism as well but the most interesting feature is the ageism expressed through Bond's and Leiter's visit to St.Petersburg Fla. e.g.'It's a terrifying sight,all these old people with their spectacles and hearing-aids and clicking false teeth.' 'There's practically no crime,except cheating at bridge and Canasta.' plus the reference to Sidewalk Davenports. This uncharitableness about old people in Florida resurfaced in the seventies with the Jimmy Buffett song Migration.As Buffett is now seventy-two and the Icy Blast should have started to blow it might be a case of Not So Bloody Clever Now,Are We?
