    Short Stories

    You’ve read all of John le Carré’s novels, short stories, opinion columns, letters to the editor, his biography and autobiography. Before you go back to the beginning and start all over, you want to try something different. What to do? Read books le Carré has recommended of course!

    Le Carré is very deliberate in what books he will offer a blurb or introduction, so there is a limited number of these. As the author himself says in his introduction to the stories of Sherlock Holmes “As a reader, I insist on being beguiled early or not at all, which may be why a lot of books on my shelves remain mysteriously unread after page twenty. But once I submit to the author’s thrall, he can do to me no wrong.”

    The recommendations inom found fall into three loose categories – people he met or subjects he explored starting in the mid-seventies while doing book research, spies and espionage and, finally, books written by friends or of personal interest.

    "How Bush and his junta succeeded in deflecting America's anger from bin Laden to Saddam Hussein is one of the great public relations conjuring tricks of history", he wrote.

    His remarks probably contributed to accusations of anti-American bias in his 2004 book Absolute Friends, an examination of the lives of two radicals from 1960s America, coming to terms with advancing age.

    In 2006 his 20th novel, Mission Song, detailed the sometimes
