John le Carré obituary

John le Carré obituary
Eric Homberger
John le Carré, who has died aged 89 of pneumonia, raised the spy novel to a new level of seriousness and respect.
He was in his late 20s when he began to write fiction – in longhand, in small red pocket notebooks, on his daily train journey between his home in Buckinghamshire and his day job with MI5, the counter-intelligence service, in London. After the publication of two neatly crafted novels, Call for the Dead (1961) and A Murder of Quality (1962), which received measured reviews and modest sales, he hit the big time with The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1963). ....

John le CarrÃ© never won the Booker prize. His genre â a mix of espionage and detective thriller â wasnât always in literary fashion even as it was hugely popular, selling some 60m copies. Le CarrÃ© refused to let his work be entered into literary prizes, though he did in his early career and in recent years had been recognised with honours such as the prestigious Olof Palme award. The complexity and deftness of his narratives left the illusion, for some, that they somehow skimmed the surface of life. That plots overwhelmed ....

John Le Carré is a famous English spy novelist. His real name is David John Moore Cornwell. He s not a literary writer, so nobody teaches undergraduate courses about his sex life and political views. Nevertheless we can maybe throw together a few facts about him.
Mr. Cornwell was born in 1931 in Poole, Dorset. He was the son of a successful swindler, Ronnie Cornwell, who eventually served time in prison. His mother wasn t around (his 1986 novel
A Perfect Spy lends much of this background to a fictional character). After public school, young Cornwell spent a year (1948-1949) studying German literature at the University of Berne in Switzerland. He then transferred to Lincoln College, Oxford, where he got something called a first-class honours degree in modern languages. He claims ....

John le Carré, outstanding novelist whose work transcended the spy genre – obituary

John le Carré, outstanding novelist whose work transcended the spy genre – obituary
He transformed espionage fiction in the masterworks The Spy Who Came in From the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
14 December 2020 • 9:11am
John le Carré, who has died aged 89, was one of the most successful post-war English novelists, and perhaps the finest thriller writer of the 20th century.
