I'm a fan of LeCarré in general, but I attribute my creation of this page primarily to my fascination for Smiley, especially in the Karla trilogy (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy; The Honourable Schoolboy; and Smiley's People).
JohnLeCarré is a pseudonym for David Cornwell.
John le Carré (1931-), by Petri Liukkonen, at Ari Pesonen's Authors' Calendar.
John Le Carre is a highly respected espionage novelist, but then so was Ian Fleming.
Rather, I was basing it on accounts of real-life spies who have been caught and exposed, and the stories that subsequently came out regarding their backgrounds, daily lives, and how they went about gathering information in a patient, piece-by-piece, but in no way glamorous, fashion.
