This is definitely James Bond Month, what with the centenary of author Ian Fleming’s birth coming up on May 28 and the much-anticipated release of Sebastian Faulks’ new Bond novel, Devil May Care. But there’s always room for more related events, apparently. This notice comes from the blog Dark Forces Book Group:

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Ian Fleming’s birth, on May 24th the BBC’s Radio 4 will present an adaptation of Dr. No. In addition, they’ll run a documentary titled Amis, Amis, and Bond featuring Martin Amis (bleh) discussing his father Kingsley Amis’ “obsessive” interest in Bond. I remember reading Colonel Sun years and years ago. but honestly can’t recall whether it was any good or not. Anyway, this sounds like a must listen.
