Henry Porter

Saturday, 13th October 2007, Cheltenham Literary Festival    

In the unique world of the intelligence community, truth can often be stranger than fiction. Henry Porter, whose most recent novel Brandenburg is set in the surreal world of cold-war East Germany, and Stella Rimington, novelist and former head of MI5, discuss the extraordinary world of espionage, the challenges of realising it in writing and the remarkable capacity of the spy novel to address some of society's deepest concerns and the tensions of a rapidly changing world.
