** spoiler alert **
an Orwellian tragedy
Exactly like something Orwell might write. By the end, I was thinking: This is Orwellian. It is a macabre satire on Communism and Capitalism and the people who get swallowed up by the chasm in-between.
A significant novel about the death games of espionage and all the trickery and justification that come with.
[I understand Le Carré felt this novel failed because it romanticized espionage. I didn’t feel romanticized at all.]

I don't think Le Carré romanticized any of his topics.

Funny how he thought he did with this one. I’ve read that. So then immediately afterwards he write The Looking Glass War and the Karla Trilogy.
