The Book Club: Nicholas Shakespeare - Best of the Spectat...

What this episode covers

In this week's Book Club podcast, my guest is Nicholas Shakespeare, author of Ian Fleming: The Complete Man. He tells me about the astonishing secret life of a writer whose adventures in espionage were more than the equal of his creation's; and about the damaged childhood and serially broken heart of a man far kinder and more sympathetic than his biographer had ever suspected. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
