The Constant Gardener by John le Carré Explored – Part 2
Description
In this episode, novelist Scott O’Connor returns to continue our discussion of John le Carré’s novel The Constant Gardener.
We explore significant characters like Tessa and Arnold Bloom, discussing their roles and revelations about sexuality and societal norms in Kenya. We also talk about the moral complexities faced by Justin, and just what the one spy in the novel is up to.
Finally we chat about the movie and what we think about a potential TV version of the novel. What would a modern reinterpretation of the novel in the post-pandemic context would look like? We get into it.
All that and much more in this episode.
