My Dad Was Nearly James Bond
Autor Des Bishopen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 mai 2012
The insights that emerged during Mike Bishop's illness became the show his son always wanted to stage. He and his father collaborated onMy Dad Was Nearly James Bond- a hilarious, outrageous and moving celebration of what Des calls 'the heroics of fatherhood'. The show has attracted rave reviews and sell-out audiences around the world.
Mike Bishop died in February 2011. Now Des has written a memoir inspired by the stage show, by the startling discoveries he made about his father's background before he died, and by his own realization of what it means to finally grow up. The book is a funny, wise and unforgettable story of a father, a son and what really matters.
