Espionage and Duplicity with William Boyd

Today’s episode is a chat with the acclaimed and bestselling author, William Boyd. He has written countless books including a Solo a Bond novel, screenplays, operas and he even took part in a brilliant art hoax with David Bowie. Last month I had the chance to talk with him about his new book, ⁠Gabriel’s Moon⁠, the first in a trilogy of espionage novels set in the 1960s featuring the hero Gabriel Dax. We cover that period, spy writing and plenty of other subjects. I should mention that this episode first appeared on our sister podcast ⁠SpyMasters⁠ and you should definitely check it out where my colleague Antonia Senior interviews spy authors, historians and maybe even a few spooks themselves.
