John Le Carré: “…James Bond Was A Neo-Fascist Gangster…”

“…”I dislike Bond.

I’m not sure that Bond is a spy.

I think that it’s a great mistake if one’s talking about espionage literature to include Bond in this category at all,” Le Carré said.

“It seems to me he’s more some kind of international gangster with, as it is said, a licence to kill…

It’s of no interest to Bond who, for instance, is president of the United States or of the Union of Soviet Republics.”…”
