Ahead of a coming re-release to mark the 70th anniversary since the release of Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale novel, the first in the James Bond series, the publication reports that the works have been “rewritten” to appease woke sensibilities.
The revelation comes after a week of controversy surrounding recent reprints of Roald Dahl’s books, with it being revealed that the works of fiction have been edited in order to change or remove language deemed problematic.
According to The Telegraph, this practice of editing problematic content, supposedly to appeal to modern audiences, has now extended to Fleming’s work, with so-called “sensitivity readers” being drafted in to examine the novels.
So riddle me this, if a publisher is re-releasing books for their 70th anniversary and they’ve been extensively edited, then how is it a re-release? It’s not the same book.
I have all of the old Ian Fleming James Bond books, which is apparently a good thing. Kipling is probably next up on the chopping block.
