Geldof and Bono to be in new Ian Rankin novel
Permalink  
 


Just been confirmed that both Bono and Bob are to be characters in Ian Rankin's new novel, centred round the G8. Now I would just love to see DI Rebus and Bob fall out! There would be sparks flying. If it is made into a TV episode, Bob and Bono would HAVE to play themselves.Who could play President Bush?

I was listening to Ian Rankin talk at the Edinburgh book Festival about his new novel. As expected, D.I.Rebus is very cynical of Bono and Geldof's attempts to save the world and they are not portrayed in a very positive light. He quickly reiterated that these were the character's views, not necessarily his. Also Rebus causes a certain American to fall off his bicycle. Ah well, it is an honour to be in a Rankin novel at all. Not many "real" people appear in his books.
