* A. Literature: Bond... Not Fleming
Ian Fleming died in 1964, but James Bond went on to new adventures,
penned by a variety of authors.
A1. He wrote "The James Bond Dossier", the first critical study
of Fleming's series. Three years later, in 1968, he
published the first non-Fleming Bond novel, "Colonel Sun".
His pen name for this book was Robert Markham. Who was
he really? We need both his first and his last name,
but his title is not necessary.
A2. American Jeffery Deaver, author of many crime novels
and creator of criminalist Lincoln Rhyme, wrote the """most
recent""" Bond novel. What's the title?
* B. Venice
B1. This city was administratively unified with Venice about
100 years ago, but previously, when Venice proper was
entirely on islands, this was the nearest mainland city
to it. Name the place.
B2. The oldest """surviving""" bridge across the Grand Canal
dates from 1591. What's its name?
* C. David Cronenberg in the 21st Century
This Canadian director no longer """writes""" all his own scripts,

Patrick McGrath wrote the screenplay based on his own novel.
The cast also includes Gabriel Byrne and Lynn Redgrave.
Name the Cronenberg movie from 2002.

D1. In 1926, sculptor Emmanuel Hahn created the statue of Ned
Hanlan that """now""" stands at Hanlan's Point on the

Elek Imredy to create "Girl in a Wetsuit". She """can be
seen""" perched on a rock in what Canadian city?
