Description
John le Carré's private life was shrouded in secrecy, a trait that served him well in his espionage career and also in his personal relationships. Adam Sisman's biography, The Secret Life of John le Carré, reveals the stories that were kept hidden, even from his closest acquaintances.
Using tradecraft learned during his time as a spy, le Carré maintained a string of love affairs over four decades, introducing both excitement and jeopardy into his life. These relationships, though seemingly at odds with his quiet and ordered personal life, appear to have been essential to his writing process.
This book offers a fascinating insight into the complex relationship between biographer and subject, and provides a necessary coda to the life and work of a man who remains both enigmatic and captivating.
