Join us to meet Mark O'Connell as he shares insights and stories about his new book.
As the world’s eyes look to the next 007, Bond, Queer Bond - The Fabulous Other History of a Spy is an original, warm-witted and illuminating chronicle about the queer talents, beats and personalities that have shaped the James Bond phenomenon in all its forms.
Blending historical insight with new observations and interviews, Bond, Queer Bond is a dynamic and entertaining James Bond compendium - full of new insight, imagery and an alternative timeline of 007 history few know exists.
Bond, Queer Bond is not just the fascinating story about the LGBTQ creativity, temperaments, battles, and voices behind the openly straight James Bond. It is a distinctive, energetic, and original story about identity in pop culture, the difference between gay history and queer expression, and how the deceptively diverse Bond world has always operated alongside both.
Joining O’Connell in the book itself are guest contributions from the likes of Barbara Broccoli, David Arnold, Mark Gatiss, Putter Smith, Peaches Christ, John Glen, Ann Magnuson, Jon Lys Turner, Jany Temime, Maud Adams, key Bond and queer alumni, and more.
