The undisputed master returns with a riveting new book—his first Smiley novel in more than twenty-five years
Peter Guillam, staunch colleague and disciple of George Smiley of the British Secret Service, otherwise known as the Circus, is living out his old age on the family farmstead on the south coast of Brittany when a letter from his old Service summons him to London. The reason? His Cold War past has come back to claim him. Intelligence operations that were once the toast of secret London, and involved such characters as Alec Leamas, Jim Prideaux, George Smiley and Peter Guillam himself, are to be scrutinized by a generation with no memory of the Cold War and no patience with its justifications.
Interweaving past with present so that each may tell its own intense story, John le Carré has spun a single plot as ingenious and thrilling as the two predecessors on which it looks back: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. In a story resonating with tension, humor and moral ambivalence, le Carré and his narrator Peter Guillam present the reader with a legacy of unforgettable characters old and new.
John le Carré was born in 1931 and attended the universities of Bern and Oxford. He taught at Eton and served briefly in British intelligence during the Cold War. For the last fifty years he has lived by his pen. He divides his time between London and Cornwall.
The historic blame game that is the current rage. Our new national sport. Today's blameless generation versus your guilty one. Who will atone for our father's sins, even if they weren't sins at the time? (查看原文)

很多人說這是《冷戰諜魂》的續作，我覺得這倒是《放大鏡戰爭》的續作。至於英國人，主會保佑他們的

生死去来，棚头傀儡。一线断时，落落磊磊。大英间谍安魂曲。除总结陈词急切而刻意到近乎笨拙外，其余部分依然戏谑老辣，鼓掌。

把自己最出名的小说再换个角度重写一遍而且依旧继续黑任何大于个体的组织机构。很好。很勒卡雷。

记几个新梗:卡拉被招安一年后就自杀了，史爸爸心都碎了（裴老师原话），Millie真的一直暗恋史爸爸难怪对彼得不理不睬，彼得对老总颇有微词私下里吐槽“老恶魔”，其实他对史爸爸也心怀不满老觉得自己是被拖下水的，裴老师还在做老师可惜小比尔没出场，史爸爸和裴老师惺惺相惜只有裴老师有他的地址裴老师觉得史爸爸心里苦什么都不说永远自己承担

勒老师：我们把一个很惨的故事搞得更惨一点吧！除了收尾局促真是挑不出问题，压垮Smiley的最后一根稻草是Karla的自杀太绝了。
