Apparently, it was Ian Fleming's idea to ask 7 noted British authors to write essays on the 7 deadly sins: one sin per author. Although he suggested each author/sin pair, except for W.H. Auden on Anger (he preferred Malcolm Muggeridge), Fleming left it to others to carry out his plan, deciding to focus his attention on James Bond, who embodies at least 6 of the 7, sloth not being conspicuous in the makeup of the superspy. Nearly all the authors seem to think that in order to do a good job with their assigned subject, they must first diminish its damnability, with at least one (Sitwell on Pride) making a case for promoting the vice to a virtue. The exception is Cyril Connelly, whose little tale of Covetousness entertains while it instructs: surely the expectation for all the contributors. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
