Naw. Nobody recruits spies at Oxford. Isn’t it that other one they all go to?

I agree. Nobody makes jokes like that for real. He was talking in code.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Stanley Johnson was a noted spymaster for years. The bluff, hearty, jokey persona would make the perfect cover, didn’t you see SPY GAMES? Nobody goes around in evening dress, asking for a martini, you might as well put a sign on.

The book is great, and no sedative! Extremely entertaining. We would have liked more information about Boris as a toddler though. The pictures of the solemn chubby Boris with a fat tummy are sooooo sweet!

Stanley Johnson strikes me as very frank and straightforward, not good qualities for a spy (unless you are on a suicide mission). Haven’t had time to read the book, but my friend swears it is extremely amusing and she is now a huge Stanley fan.

A good sedative if you need to sleep immediately.
