The Dry January Hangover

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-lede/the-dry-january-hangover

The first book of the new year! It’s a new copy and a new edition of an old favourite. This was the first continuation James Bond novel published after Ian Fleming had died, and was originally published under the pseudonym of Robert Markham, which Glidrose intended to use as the author’s name on all the continuation Bond novels. By the time that John Gardner took up the quill to continue the job, the idea was forgotten

Hayley Mills and Oliver Reed make a delightful mismatched couple in Take a Girl Like You (1970), based on Kingsley Amis's novel. Offbeat quirky witty and sophisticated film dealing with love and sex in a grown-up way. Good-natured and charming.

My review: https://dfordoom-movieramblings.blogspot.com/2024/04/take-girl-like-you-1970.html

Un 22 de octubre muere en Londres
donde también había nacido,
🖊️#KingsleyAmis (1922-1995)
Novelista y poeta.
Adscrito a los 'jóvenes airados'
Un interesantísimo escritor
que pasó por un cierto olvido,
hasta ser recuperado
para los estantes de nuestras librerías

Found this in a second hand bookshop. I’d never heard of this Amis title. Love the introduction - where he’s fairly frank about his motive for writing it! #kingsleyamis #amis #novels #books #fiction #literature #crimefiction #fiction

‘If you can't annoy somebody, there is little point in writing.’
