RIP George MacDonald Fraser

George MacDonald Fraser, author of the Flashman novels, has died at age 82 , after a battle with cancer.
I've recommended the Flashman series before; they are fantastic books about an absolute arse of a man named Harry Flashman, who tumbles his way through life as a coward and a crook, a sexist and a racist, a wholly detestable blighter, and inevitably ends up, as so many like him do ( cough Bush cough ), regarded as a great man. He is, like Chris Finch , a guy you love to hate.
Five days after we met, Mr. Shakes sent me a missive including the following, which was my first introduction to the odious Flashman—and his slightly more respectable architect, Mr. Fraser:

RSS George MacDonald Fraser is dead: George MacDonald Fraser
Jan 10th 2008
From The Economist print edition George MacDonald Fraser, inventor of Flashman, died on January 2nd, aged 82 HARRY FLASHMAN never knew George MacDonald Fraser. That was a pity, because Mr Fraser knew every scrap about Flashman, from the points of his swaggering moustaches to the tips of his gleaming spurs. He knew him as a scoundrel, a liar, a cheat, a thief, a coward and, not least, a toady, ever able to make himself shine in the eyes of his braying superiors. And he revelled in him as perhaps the finest fictional rogue ever to grace the map of the British empire. May he rest in Peace.

Military History Carnival #10: George MacDonald Fraser Edition
This 10th edition of The Military History Carnival is dedicated to the late, lamented George MacDonald Fraser, who died on January 3rd. His passing leaves a great hole in the hearts of fans of the "Bawdy Romp" genre of extremely well-written historical fiction. Fraser was a masterful storyteller and a first rate historian, as well as a veteran of service in India and Burma during WWII. His greatest literary creation was Sir Harry Flashman - himself the bully of " Tom Brown's School Days - who manages to wriggle through some of the worst military debacles of the Victorian era with the undeserved reputation as a bluff and hearty hero, rather than the shirking, womanizing bully he was underneath. As entertaining (and scandalous) as the Flashman novels are, they are also very well researched and present fascinating periods of 19th-century history in vivid and accessible detail. Marking Fraser's passing at

George MacDonald Fraser Memory Saturday, January 5, 2008 I picked up a voice mail this morning from a distraught Shanghai Bob telling me that George MacDonald Fraser had passed away. In a way, I’m glad I wasn’t there to receive the call—it would have been a tough one to get through and, anyway, not long before I’d received the same news (cancer) in an email from Nicholas Latimer at Knopf.
As for the Shanghai Bob connection, I can only say that while struggling through a difficult and often socially barren year in Japan alongside Bob and our mutual friend Robert Glasser (both Shanghai Bob and Glasser make several appearances in “Smile When You’re Lying”), Flashman and Fraser’s other books quite literally helped us make it through the dark days. Through his books, I think all of us experienced that most strange and satisfying byproduct of the reader’s life—getting to know and become “friends” (of a sort) with someone they've never met. Fraser’s books had that kind of personal impact on people and his way of facing every situation, no matter how grave, with a sense of humor certainly had an impact on my way of thinking about writing and, indeed, living. That sort of perspective was much needed that year in Japan.
Fraser is beloved around the world, but he has a particularly large fan base among expats. I don’t say this simply because it was as an expat that I discovered Fraser, but because his outsider’s outlook, irreverence, and subversive wit aligns so perfectly with the sensibilities of many Westerners who often find themselves in tricky situations abroad. Meeting Fraser and conducting this interview in the lobby of a London hotel will always be one of the great thrills and privileges of my professional life.

The popular books saw womanising anti-hero Sir Harry Flashman, fight his way around the British Empire.
MacDonald Fraser, who was appointed an OBE in 1999, also wrote the screenplay for James Bond film Octopussy.
The Carlisle-born journalist turned author, who lived on the Isle of Man, had fought cancer for several years.
He was married and had three children.
The Flashman books

RIP (and Thank You) George Macdonald Fraser
I was saddened to learn of the death yesterday of the author George Macdonald Fraser . Fraser, a Scot, created the Flashman series of novels, which have given me a great deal of pleasure over the years. He was 82. The cause of death was cancer.
Fraser had served in India during World War and worked as a journalist in Glasgow before becoming an author and screenwriter. The original Flashman novel started that portion of his career in the late 1960's. In it, he took a minor character in 19th century literature and imagined him into one of the greatest cads in English fiction. His novels are great fun and feature well-researched and accurate historical people, places, and actions.
He also wrote a wonderful memoir of his military service ( Quartered Safe Out Here ), and a series of short-stories inspired by that period of his life (the "McAuslan" stories). He wrote a parody of pirate books (

George MacDonald Fraser (1925-2008)
It is with some sadness that I read today of George MacDonald Fraser's death. I won't write my own obituary for him nor give you a resume of his life and work - better people than me have made that available. All I will say is that his books gave me endless pleasure. I loved the Flashman books and roared at the adventures of McAuslan. But for me his best book was The Pyrates (1983) in which he somehow managed to capture every plot from every pirate book and film every produced. It follows the adventures of improbably handsome Naval hero Long Ben Avery and his quest to win the hand of the fair Lady Vanity and reunite the pieces of a fabulous crown currently in the dastardly hands of Calico Jack Rackham, Black Sheba, Firebeard and a host of other colourful buccaneers. They wear Gucci boots, listen to Tortuga FM pirate radio and speak in piratical cliches, wi' a curse! It's absolutely hilarious and was one of my favourite books listed last year (See blog post

The Last Testament of George MacDonald Fraser
No surprise that the last testament of the man who created Flashman would be a rant against political correctness. A must read . (Even if it is from the quasi-fascist Daily Mail
I think little of people who will deny their history because it doesn't present the picture they would like. My forebears from the Highlands of Scotland were a fairly primitive, treacherous, blood-thirsty bunch and, as Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote, would have been none the worse for washing. Fine, let them be so depicted, if any film maker feels like it; better that than insulting, inaccurate drivel like Braveheart. The philosophy of political correctness is now firmly entrenched over here, too, and at its core is a refusal to look the truth squarely in the face, unpalatable as it may be. Political correctness is about denial, usually in the weasel circumlocutory jargon which distorts and evades and seldom stands up to honest analysis.
