Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Shabby 70’s London Part 2
Description
This episode I return with Phil Tinline and Bernard Hughes.
We continue discussing Phil’s article in the New Statesman on the London of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John le Carré and how it’s different from the London of today.
Topics include the le Carré and conspiracies, a discussion of Adam Sisman’s latest book, and plus writers that write well about London and what areas did le Carré miss?
Plus the current lack of smoke and dog poo in London. All that and more in this episode.
