Read this too recently, found it a right slog - I think it’s very clever, but I preferred the TV adaptation! #JohnLeCarré The Little Drummer Girl

#ThePigeonTunnel, a new documentary from #ErrolMorris, will premiere on #AppleTVPlus October 20.

The doc follows the career and life of #DavidCornwell, the British spy better known to the world under his pen name #JohnLeCarré, author of #TinkerTailorSoldierSpy and many other spy novels.

Any updates on this? It's just that John Le Carré is not amongst us anymore to make sense of it in his unique, existencialist way... #spyboat #lakemaggioreaccident #JohnLeCarré

#urlaubslekture Teil 2 - die kleine Stadt ist #bonn es geht um das verschwinden es Botschaftsmitarbeiters und spielt zu der Zeit als Großbritannien in die EWU / EU wollte.
#johnlecarre hat wohl selbst einige Zeit an der Britischen Botschaft in Bonn gearbeitet und fängt die Atmosphäre der Zeit sehr gut ein.
Vor allem für Bonner die die #bonnerrepublik nicht selbst erlebt haben eine Empfehlenswerte Lektüre.

John le Carré did not appreciate Clive James' reviews. (from "A Private Spy. The letters of John le Carré", edited by Tim Cornwell). #Books #Bookshelf #Reader #JohnLeCarre #Bookclub #literarycriticism #bookstodon

Filmrezension: Die Libelle (Little Drummer Girl, 2018)

"Die Miniserie ist eine sehr gelungene, spannende Verfilmung des Bestsellerromans von John Le Carré. Regisseur Park Chan-Wook´s opulente Bildsprache lässt die späten 1970er Jahre wieder aufleben."

Was watching this earlier: John Le Carre (and others) talking about snagging Alex Guinness for the role of Smiley in Tinker, Tailor... And how Guinness prepared for the role, interacted with director, cast members, etc. Fascinating stuff!

Late November 2022 took a walk around #kreuzberg #berlin primarily to visit #Hansa studio. Its a working environment so sadly closed to visitors but I was glad to see it. It was close to the Wall but the streets nearby have since been developed so I had to imagine what it was like in ‘77 when #Bowie recorded #heroes here. We planned to walk to his home in #hauptstraße but it was -4c and in the words of #johnlecarre “Berlin has a cold of it’s own”

#today I'm watching the last episode of Smiley's People, having worked my way through this and Tinker Tailor before it over recent weeks.

Seen them before, of course, but always worth a rewatch, because the series are so, so good. Genuine TV masterpieces.

U may remember #GrahamGreene or #JohnLeCarre
#TomClancy will surely sound familiar to you.
They are authors of novels in a sorta gender military or spy thriller
in #ColdWar or post #ColdWar.
But what they don't know is that real facts are stranger than fiction.

"Right, then we shall start." #TheCircus #JohnLeCarré

4/5

Easily John le Carré's wittiest, most satirical novel of a tailor who makes up intelligence reports about things he supposedly hears while crafting beautiful suits for Panama's power brokers. Everyone in this novel has a special interest and an angle, and the lies, and the pushing of these lies, has consequences. Recommended if you're in the mood for some black humor with the writing of an angel. The movie is pretty good, too.

Tom, closing his book: Well, I thought they were double agents, but it turned out not. I must’ve been overthinking it.

Tom, coming out of the bathroom five minutes later: Or WERE they double agents?
