- Joseph_Hone abstract "Joseph Hone (born February 25, 1937) is an Irish writer of the spy novel. His most famous novels featured a British spy called Peter Marlow. The first of the series was The Private Sector (1971), set in the Six Day War. Marlow's story continues in The Sixth Directorate (1975), The Flowers of the Forest (a.k.a. The Oxford Gambit) (1980), and The Valley of the Fox (1982). Today, Hone's novels are out of print. During his heyday, in the 1970s, however, he was favourably compared with writers such as Len Deighton, Eric Ambler and John le Carré. Whilst some spy novels, such as those of le Carré are often set mainly inside the offices of the spy department, and attract praise for the depth of their characterization and plotting, others (such as the James Bond series) are set in the field, and provide explosive action. The stories of Joseph Hone, by contrast, have a foot in both these camps, and he has become renowned amongst aficionados of the spy genre for both the quality of his writing, and the excitement of his plots. He has recently released his memoir, Wicked Little Joe.[citation needed]Hone holds degrees from Kilkenny College in Kilkenny and St. Columba's College in Dublin. Hone has lived in India, Egypt, the Far East and the United States and brings these experiences to his students. He teaches creative writing as well as a section of the University Core Curriculum at Wroxton College in Oxfordshire. For a story on Joseph's connection to Pamela Travers the creator of Mary Poppins have a listen to this interview with Joe Duffy on Irish National radio (RTE1) which went out live on Monday 2nd December 2013. The interview starts about 1/3rd of the way into the program. In particular he tells of his brother Camillus who was adopted by Pamela. Camillus was one of twin boys living in Kiliney, Dublin when he was adopted. Before coming to Wroxton College, Joseph Hone held a variety of positions in radio and television, including radio and then television critic for "The Listener" (1971-1980). His background includes overseas postings with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and service in New York with the United Nations, from 1967-68, in their Office of Public Information where he produced a number of radio programs for UN radio, later broadcast by the BBC. Hone has reviewed books for the New York Times Book Review, The Spectator, The New Statesman, and the Daily Telegraph.".
