James Bond — Hurricane Room

About the event

What’s it like to write one of the world’s most famous characters? Commissioned by the Ian Fleming Estate to expand on the James Bond canon, Kim Sherwood’s (Creative Writing) trilogy comes to an explosive conclusion with Hurricane Room.

Lauded for how her Double O novels ‘feel both as old as time and fresh and new’ (John Yorke), Sherwood returns to the Festival to talk about the beloved spy saga on the cusp of the final showdown. Chaired by Dan Richards.
