A Perfect Spy
by John le Carré
A gripping and emotionally profound work by a contemporary genius of the form. John Le Carré is more than just a writer of tense potboilers; he's a staggeringly gifted writer and artist of the fictional narrative. A Perfect Spy is not necessarily an easy read — it will take some investment in time and attention. The structure is original, there's a lot of backstory, and there are deep autobiographical elements that give this espionage/suspense novel its unusual gravitas. But like many works of artistic genius, what you get out of it is proportional to what you put in, and this novel rewards the attentive reader in spades. Seriously, you don't want to miss this. It's a great, great novel.
