At long last -- the ninth and final volume of the Bandy Papers,
Stalin Versus Me, in which quintessential Canadian hero Bartholomew
Wolfe Bandy has one final fling with death, despair, and
destruction, in the final year of the Second World War. In the
aftermath of the Normandy invasion, Bandy continues to bob through
the ranks like a cork at sea, persecuted by one of his pilots and
pursued by Gwinny, who just can't understand why her attempt to
have him convicted of treason has soured their relationship. Love
rears its (elegant, Belgian) head again, the King needs a man of
tact and discretion for a delicate post-war job in Germany, and
there's an embarrassing parcel of ladies undies to explain, not to
mention just why a half-clothed Bandy (unfortunately, not the right
half) is in bed with George Garanine, that lazy, loveable, failed
Bandy-assassin. From Normandy to Brussels to Yalta to Moscow,
Bandy's career path is as labyrinthine as ever, strewn with
bottles, battles, and brasshat blood-pressure. Of most crucial
concern to our hero, as 1944 draws to a close and 1945 sees the
last grim push of the war beginning -- boozing pal Philby of the
SIS couldn't possibly have any reason to get Bandy sent to the
Yalta Conference except as a translator, right? And Stalin can't
really be out to get Bandy, just because he happens to know that a
certain Soviet leader was once a Tsarist agent provocateur. After
all, we all know Uncle Joe isn't the type to hold a grudge. Will
Bandy survive? Will he get the, er, mature, middle-aged lady
(unaccountably still in love with her lazy, loveable, long-lost
husband?) Will a plane be purloined? Will his last few hairs hold
out?
