B. and I finally went to see Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy yesterday and it has left me really wanting to read some Le Carre.
Do it! You won’t regret it. I’ve gotten through Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Honourable Schoolboy, and am saving the third Karla book (Smiley’s People) as a reward for when I finish my latest review books.
I think I must have been writing them off all these years as “eh, Cold War spy novels; whatever”, which was a mistake; they’re so good, so marvelously written.
