Journal Entry 2 by Forager from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire United Kingdom on Thursday, November 12, 2009
This is one of the Smiley books that I am planning to read over the coming year, but I have a copy already. At least I hope I have...
In the wake of a demoralizing infiltration by a Soviet double agent, Smiley has been made ringmaster of the Circus (the British Secret Service). Determined to restore the organization's health and reputation, and bent on revenge, Smiley thrusts his own handpicked operative into action. Jerry Westerby, "The Honourable Schoolboy," is dispatched to the Far East. A burial ground of French, British, and American colonial cultures, the region is a fabled testing ground of patriotic allegiances: a new showdown is about to begin.
John le Carré is the pseudonym of David John Moore Cornwell (born October 19, 1931 in Poole, Dorset, England), an English writer of espionage novels. Le Carré has resided in St Buryan, Cornwall, Great Britain, for more than forty years.
