George Smiley says,

"There I shall establish myself as a mild eccentric. Discursive, withdrawn, but possessing one or two lovable habits, such as muttering to myself as I bumble along innocent pavements. I shall become an oak of my own generation".

John le Carré's real-life network of spies and gangsters fed him secret material The celebrated author, who died in 2020, was known for writing spy novels with an attention to detail that made the murky world of espionage seem terrifyingly real.

That’s why le Carré still hits different. He wasn’t guessing - he was plugged into the real spy world. When your sources are actual spies and criminals, the paranoia, betrayal, and tradecraft come out feeling brutally real. #JohnLeCarre #Espionage #SpyFiction

Finished my first read of 2026 (started at least two weeks ago, I think - so also my last read of 2025):

John Le Carré's novel, A Perfect Spy.

Tour de force of a novel - I really loved it. I'll be thinking about parts of this book for a while.

You are in charge of a movie studio and have an unlimited budget to adapt any work of your choosing that has never been made into a live-action TV series or film. What are you picking?

REVIEW: The Spy Who Came In From The Cold A global best-seller for over six decades, the 1963 Cold War spy novel The Spy Who Came In From The Cold has finally made it to the West End. Written by ex-spy John le Carré, this novel has been adapted for stage by David Eldridge and follows a sold out premiere at Chichester Festival Theatre. 

REVIEW: 3 stars to #TheSpyWhoCameInFromTheCold @ Soho Place

'An exposition-heavy adaptation saved by the twisted plot'
