About this product
Product Information
Ian Fleming fabricated an icon that has endured long past its maker's death. Winder lovingly and ruefully re-creates the nadirs and humiliations of fandom while illuminating what Bond's evolution says about the conservative movement, sex, the monarchy, food, attitudes toward America, class, and everything in between.

Reviews
"This is a brilliant look at the British Empire, and its fall, as reflected in the gadget-filled, babe-bagging, martini-swilling, world-saving career of James Bond. It's utterly unique. Sly, funny, occasionally sad, a wild mix of cultural history, film criticism, and memoir in which the author, trying to fathom the disorienting collapse of his parents' world, finds the key in the somewhat daft (Winder's word) creation of Ian Fleming. It burns from beginning to end."--Rich Cohen, author of "Sweet and Low", Â"Simon Winder has managed to breathe new life into one of the most analyzed pop culture icons of all time. . .a unique and witty combination of history, film criticism and personal memoir that educates as much as it entertains.Â"Â--Lee Pfeiffer, co-author ofThe Essential James Bondand co-publisher ofCinema Retro Â"This is a brilliant look at the British Empire, and its fall, as reflected in the gadget-filled, babe-bagging, martini-swilling, world-saving career of James Bond.
