Fans of 1960's espionage will probably enjoy itBy jc_anthroCouldn't quite decide whether to give three or four stars. Gave it the benefit of the doubt. It is a good book, of both it's genre and of it's time. It is dated though, which for me is part of it's charm but for others may be off putting. It is also clearly the work of a young man. At the same it is an enjoyable espionage story which is also a subtle dig at the genre itself (it doesn't treat itself all that seriously). Probably its best aspect is really an evocation of a certain kind of Britishness with a twist of the absurd. Fans of slick modern espionage stories bristling with technical talk and weaponry will be disappointed. Fans of 1960s espionage will probably enjoy it.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A great tale of cold-war espionage and East - West tension ...By J. NelsonAs the suspense builds I found it hard to put this book down - no wonder I'm so tired. A great tale of cold-war espionage and East - West tension in England and Berlin.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Three StarsBy IlberySomewhat prolix Alexander Eberlin is a small, faceless civil servant working for the Government at the height of the Cold War. As he nears middle age, he allows himself one luxury - to dress like a Dandy. His superiors send him on a mission to hunt down and destroy a cold-blooded and vicious Russian assassin named Krasnevin, who is responsible for a number of British agents' deaths. But Eberlin has a secret - he is Krasnevin. This is the story of what happens when Eberlin is sent to destroy himself. Now back in print fifty years after it was written, The Times says A Dandy in Aspic is 'A well groomed anecdote to today's fast-paced thrillers with gym-buffed heroes. Eberlin is the real deal.' 'Graceful and brilliant' Sir Tom Stoppard 'A classic of the cold war spy stories - one of the earliest and one of the best. Marlowe's Eberlin/Krasnevin is on the run from himself on different levels and in different places: the evocations of London and Berlin in the 1960s are superb.' Piers Paul Read 'Derek Marlowe writes like John Le Carre at the top of his form' Yorkshire PostAbout the AuthorDerek Marlowe was born in London in 1938. He was a novelist, playwright and screen writer. A Dandy in Aspic, his first novel, was originally published in 1966 and became an international bestseller. It was translated into 15 languages and Marlowe himself adapted the book into a film starring Laurence Harvey and Mia Farrow. He was the author of eight further novels, including The Disappearance, which became a film starring Donald Sutherland. Marlowe had one son, Ben, and died in 1996 at the age of fifty-eight.

  • A Writer's Calendar
    A WRITER’S CALENDAR Compiled by J. L. Herrera for my mother and with special thanks to Rose Brown, Peter Jones, Eve Masterman, Yvonne Stadler, Marie-France Sagot, Jo Cauffman, Tom Errey and Gianni Ferrara INTRODUCTION I began the original calendar simply as a present for my mother, thinking it would be an easy matter to fill up 365 spaces. Instead it turned into an ongoing habit. Every time I did some tidying up out would flutter more grubby little notes to myself, written on the backs of envelopes, bank withdrawal forms, anything, and containing yet more names and dates. It seemed, then, a small step from filling in blank squares to letting myself run wild with the myriad little interesting snippets picked up in my hunting and adding the occasional opinion or memory. The beginning and the end were obvious enough. The trouble was the middle; the book was like a concertina — infinitely expandable. And I found, so much fun had the exercise become, that I was reluctant to say to myself, no more. Understandably, I’ve been dependent on other people’s memories and record- keeping and have learnt that even the weightiest of tomes do not always agree on such basic ‘facts’ as people’s birthdays. So my apologies for the discrepancies which may have crept in. In the meantime — Many Happy Returns! Jennie Herrera 1995 2 A Writer’s Calendar January 1st: Ouida J. D. Salinger Maria Edgeworth E. M.

  • Literature of Warning: the State-Private Network, Cultural Patronage, and the Emergence of Foundation Literature During the Cold War
    Literature of Warning: The State-Private Network, Cultural Patronage, and the Emergence of Foundation Literature during the Cold War A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Amanda Niedfeldt IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Under the supervision of Dr. Paula Rabinowitz February 2021 Copyright © 2021 by Amanda Niedfeldt All rights reserved “But how impossible it must have been for them not to budge either to the right or to the left. What genius, what integrity it must have required in face of all that criticism…to hold fast to the thing as they saw it without shrinking.” Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own (74) i Acknowledgements I must first thank Paula Rabinowitz for her support and patience through the journey of this project, especially for understanding, better than I, that all aspects of our lives shape our work and our ability to see it through. Thank you for supporting me throughout the process, even going the extra mile to help me access archival sources out of my physical reach. Thank you also for encouraging me to push against bureaucratic boundaries from day one and supporting me in spreading my net wide both intellectually and professionally, by doing so I have been able to grow not only academically, but also as a person. Thank you also to my committee members Siobhan Craig, Leslie Morris, Jani Scandura, and Frances Vavrus for your questions, feedback, and particularly your patience as the end date of this project was shifted around the calendar while 2020 unfolded.
