Description
The Tailor of Panama by John Le Carré is a work of rare brilliance. In this savage satire, the espionage trade is exposed for its corrupting influence, where innocent lives are lost and treachery plays out as tragic farce. A charismatic fabulist with a talent for storytelling, Harry Pendel's life is turned upside down when a man of large appetites walks into his shop. As the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, Harry finds himself out of his depth in an international game he can never hope to win. With its bold subversion of classic spy novel conventions, this tour de force is a gripping exploration of the darker side of human nature.
