Review of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) by David Edelstein for New York Magazine (Vulture) — 12 Dec 2011
I've heard it said that Le Carré's work lost its savor with the end of the Cold War, which is as dumb as discounting "Coriolanus" because Romans and Volscians are no longer killing each other.
Le Carré's subject was the national character and what happened to it under threat and in the absence of public scrutiny. It could hardly be, mutatis mutandis, more contemporary.
