Anthony Horowitz's "Forever and a Day"
Hello dear listeners!
Many 00 aficionados consider Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale to be the holy grail of all things 007. It’s the first ever published of the source material that has since branched off into so many different formats in which regale ourselves in Bond goodiness.
But who was James Bond before Casino Royale? Ah, THAT is the question on…probably very few peoples’ lips when it was announced Anthony Horowitz was returning to the world of Fleming for a prequel book. After all, more than one novel has tackled James’ younger days in the aptly titled Young Bond series of books. Then came Dynamite Entertainment’s James Bond Origin series, which recently completed its run. And speaking of holy grail’s, let’s not forget James Bond Jr!
This week Mathieu and Edgar dive into the deep end for a conversation about Forever and a Day, the Casino Royale prequel that, while lauded by some, has been on surprisingly few lips since its release in 2018. Any opportunity to discuss literary Bond is a joyous occasion, a platform ripe for a multitude of sharp, astute commentary the boys are known for, such as:
What makes a good Casino Royale prequel and a good 007 novel? Are they even necessarily the same?
More classic ways of discerning if someone has homosexual tendencies, such as if they don’t speak English and are monstrously obese.
Why aren’t there more nude chicks on the covers of Bond novels these days?
Mocking someone for having a brain tumour and making it sound funny.
Mocking someone for being fat and making it sound funny.
The logistics of producing industrial quantities of heroine without anybody knowing about it.
And so many more riveting topics!
Sit back and join us in the south of France for a relaxing, invigorating, heroine filled episode.
