Raymond Benson Bondwriter 1997-2002 RAYMOND
BENSON has worked as a composer, computer game designer, stage
director and lecturer. His career as an author began with the publication
of THE JAMES BOND BEDSIDE COMPANION, which quickly became a standard Bond
reference work. Raymond Benson followed John Gardner as the official
author of the James Bond novels and his first full-length 007 adventure,
ZERO MINUS TEN, was published in 1997. A further five original Bond novels
followed. In 2002 Raymond stopped writing Bond to concentrate on other
projects, which have included the New York Times bestselling Splinter Cell
novels, written under the name of David Michaels. *Further information on Raymond's non-Bond work can be found on his official website. Raymond Benson is the fourth official writer of the James Bond 007 novels. The first was the character's creator, Ian Fleming. Fleming wrote twelve novels and two collections of short stories that were published in the 1950s and early 60s. Kingsley Amis was next, writing one book under a pseudonym (Robert Markham). John Gardner took over the mantle and wrote fourteen novels and two film novelizations before Raymond was hired to continue the series. (Note: Christopher Wood wrote two film novelizations and John Pearson wrote a "fictional biography" of 007 in the 1970s, but these two writers are not usually considered official Bond authors since they didn't write original novels in the oeuvre.) |
Raymond Benson Bondförfattare 1997-2002
Bakgrunden är den att jag är personlig vän
med Raymond Benson sedan mitten av 1980 då jag var på besök i New York
under en vecka. Var där med anl. av den årliga utdelningen av årets
EDGAR - alla deckarpriserna.
När så Raymond ombads att fortsätta
skriva om James Bond föreslog jag och min hustru, Margareta, att han
naturligtvis skulle "sätta" en thriller här i Spanien. Och så
en dag kom ett mail där han berättade att nästa Ja-thriller skulle sättas
i Spanien.
Jag ordnade då med Spanska kulturrådet i
Torrevieja så att Raymond fick en gratis flygbiljett från New York-Alicante
samt hotell för två veckor.
Han kom med sin hustru, Randi, och de
stannade här i en vecka innan det var dags att med vår bil bila söderut
till Malaga och Marbella, där boken skulle utspelas.
Vi hjälpte Raymond med researchen, besökte
bl a Ronda, där Raymond fick sitta i samma barberastol som
"the Old man" Hemingway en gång gjort. (nej,
det var inte samma barberare).
Kulturrådet tog väl hand om oss och vi
fick varsin svit på det 5-stjärniga hotellet i Marbella. En guide var
speciellt avdelad för oss under vår vistelse i Marbella.
Ja, för att göra en lång story kort så
blev kontentan av det hela boken DOUBLE SHOT och både min hustru
Margareta och jag är med i boken ifråga. Jag som den mycket berömda
svenska kirurgen Iwan Morelius och Margareta som en fame fatal, som
faktiskt förför James Bond."
Raymond Benson var fram till 2003 den officielle författaren till James Bond 12 st böckerna. Bondböcker efter Fleming. |
Raymond's tenure as Bond author began in early 1996 and ended at the beginning of 2003. At that time Raymond felt that after six original novels, three film novelizations, and three short stories, he needed to do some things of his own. At the same time, a new administration at Ian Fleming Publications Ltd. wanted to explore a different direction with the character (the "Young Bond" series young adult readers, written by Charlie Higson).
