"One of our great writers of moral ambiguity, a tireless explorer of that darkly contradictory no-man's land." --Los Angeles Times "No other writer has charted--pitilessly for politicians but thrillingly for readers--the public and secret histories of his times." --The Guardian (UK) "I would suggest immortality for John le Carré, who I believe one of the most intelligent and entertaining writers working today." --Alan Cheuse, Chicago Tribune "The constant flow of emotion lifts le Carré not only above all modern suspense novelists, but above most novelists now practicing." --Financial Times "A writer of towering gifts." --The Independent (UK)
