People probably don’t know this but I am a big fan of John Le Carré, the late author whose spy novels were groundbreaking in interrogating the hypocrisy and dissonant morality of Britain. He seemed on the surface like a man of the establishment but explored the complexity of national and ideological identities, and critiqued the British state and the role of powerful corporates to his last book It was fascinating to talk to his son, the author in his own right @harkaway , about the Spy Who Came In From The Cold, the book that propelled Le Carré to stardom and changed the spy novel as a genre This one of a kind annotated copy of The Spy is being auctioned by @christiesinc for @englishpen_ the human rights organisation that supports writers and freedom of expression #lecarré #great #author #classic #novel #books #rarebooks #conversation #spies Thank you for the beautiful outfit @everlane #gifted
