Ian Fleming, a British writer known for creating the world's most famous spy, returned to the spotlight decades after his death.

He worked as a stockbroker and sometimes informally served British intelligence before he published the story of James Bond, who made him famous. In the 1950s, his James Bond quickly captured the public's imagination and became a lasting pop culture phenomenon. President John F. Kennedy is famous From Russia, full of love Announce his current reading. Fleming died of a heart attack at the age of 56.

“He lives an incredible life,” said Andrew Gulli, executive editor of the Chicago-based quarterly magazine Strand Magazine. "He worked for the British intelligence service. He is for this Sunday Times As their foreign news editor. ”

This week, Strand magazine published a little-known short story through Fleming titled The Sbofful Dream, which predated his first James Bond novel. It was discovered through a collector who had access to the family archives in Fleming.

"It's about a newspaper editor named Caffery Bone," Gley said. "And he was in a limousine on the way to his boss's house."

According to him, the Bones owner possesses the Bond villain’s logo.

"He was very happy to find unusual ways to fire people who work," said Goulie, a big fan of Fleming's work. "He was very rich and very sadistic."

The latest issue of stocks also includes the ghost story of another medieval literary writer: Graham Greene. They found manuscripts in the collection of the University of Texas Library.

"It's about the moment a man was in a house in southern France, he was reading a book and became a little weird and sinister, and he suddenly discovered something creepy in the story that he was reading in real life, and the readings he had read in real life started to happen to him."

Gulli added that pairing Greene with Fleming said something new to both authors and why their writing continued.

"I find it fascinating to put the two together, that's two writers (who) are idols of writing in the mid-century. But it's a work that's not in their comfort zone," Guli said.

The quarter is celebrating its 75th issue. It is known for publishing rare, forgotten or previously unpublished works, including works by John Steinbeck and Tennessee Williams, as well as interviews with contemporary writers.

It is one thing for a magazine to find a lost or forgotten work, but it is actually good, and it is another to be called and worthy of publication.

"It's very hard work. I think it's one of the reasons that's one of our only magazines, and we're one of the few journals that specialize in this," Gurley said.
