Description

We continue our three part look at A Private Spy: The letters of John le Carré edited by Tim Cornwell. In part 2 we’ll be talking about what we learned about le Carré’s professional life.





Returning to discuss the book is Circus cognoscente, Matthew Bradford.





We discuss le Carré’s feudin’ and fightin’ with critics and friends, his input on cover art, and his love/hate relationship with film adaptions. Plus, why Silverview was terrible to release when written but the perfect posthumous novel!





All that and more in this episode.
