John Le Carre RIP (1931-2020)

[daz]

Best author of the spy genre, in my opinion, has passed away aged 89.

Been reading a few of his more recent books the past few weeks.

Sad to read this tonight, but what a life he had.

RIP David

Thanks for some great stories and one of the best fictional characters ever created,George Smiley.
RIP.

That is sad news.
I've always admired his work and was fortunate enough to meet him at a restaurant in Falmouth about 12 years ago.

The fact that he was an intelligence officer himself made the detailing of his writing something very special.

I think I've mentioned on here before that imo 'Tinker, Tailor' and 'Smileys People' are the best British TV productions ever made.

RIP Mr Cornwell.
