I'm not at the moment reading 'in sympathy' with you, as I've got other books on the go, but I'll enjoy reading your articles and will comment where I think I've something to add. It's great that you're going into so much detail - more than I've got space for on my website. The question to think about - when you get round to reading 'Spy Story', is whether the character in that is still the 'unnamed spy' from the first novels, but ten years on. I think it is, due to some subtle textual clues, but I've never seen a definitive argument either way. Great set of articles so far, Armstrong.

Especially someone as well-read and savvy as yourself! I also don't have copies of those last two. Tomorrow, I'm expanding my thrift store / used book store search, and if I don't turn anything up, it's Amazon for me. And I've hopefully got a copy of the Len Deighton Companion coming through inter-library loan. I will be excited to have another person to bounce my thoughts off of, David.

I don't have the last two on your 'reading' list - but have the first five - I read Spy Story when I was twelve - for a school book report - and hated it (maybe as a mature reader now I should give it another try!) I will endeavour to get started on IPCRESS in the next day or so...(reading Matt Hilton's Dead Man's Dust at the moment and a lot of fun it is too!) Cheers D. I dug out my Deighton this morning.
