Anyway what I’ve decided after going down a late-night rabbit hole with @tobermoriansass lamenting the lack of lady spies that aren’t glorified Bond Women is that we should genderswap a bunch of le Carré characters. George Smiley is a woman now sorry I don’t make the rules

#on a meta level this is also very funny in that JLC was gr8 at writing women #IF AND ONLY IF he was genderswapping one of his classic self insert characters (this is unmistakably what charlie ross is lol)#spies #john le carré #my posts

In the end, it’s ironing the stuff. Getting out anything that’s extraneous. I don’t use adjectives if I can possibly get away with it. I don’t use adverbs. I try to make the verb do the work.

– John le Carré

Where do you recommend people start reading John le Carré? Seeing your posts made me want to try his books but there's a lot of them

I'm flattered. But also, I don't think there is one ideal starting place for Le Carré. My recommendations would depend on knowing what you like. Dark comedy? Romance? Mystery? Political thriller? I think all of these elements are present in his books, in varying combinations.

I will say, having no further information about you and your tastes, that I might recommend not starting with his magisterial and justly acclaimed Cold War sagas, but rather with one of the following novels that deals directly with issues very obviously present and pressing in our own historical moment:

The Constant Gardener (2001)

A Most Wanted Man (2008)

Our Kind of Traitor (2010)
