See, some might say it's NOT a John le Carré Novel, given John le Carré didn't write it.
Every bit of intellectual property must be exploited forever, not even the sweet release of death can end it.
Yes! I got an bookshop email about a new Poirot novel but it certainly was not by Agatha Christie!
I read his *Titanium Noir*, which I enjoyed very much. I wish he’d stick to his own stuff, not draft on his father’s legacy.
Especially since he started out deliberately avoiding doing so.
The first time I recall being aware of this kind of thing was when the school library got in a bunch of books by "Virginia Andrews®".
I remember seeing a couple at school labelled "The new Virginia Andrews" but not actually *by* Virginia Andrews. Is Alistair MacLean the same sort of thing (and possibly Dick Francis?)?
Yeah, I think that was the weaselly form of words they used.
What if "John le Carre" is a character in the book?
Raging about his legacy, then being perfunctorily killed off.
Also this might make me to that Smiley read through I've been meaning to do
On the other hand, I've really liked Nick's other books
‘It was always a pseudonym. What makes you think there was ever one person behind it?’ Does that sound a bit like a line from a "John le Carre" novel?
We are all John Le Carre!
I'm John Le Carre, and so is my wife!
Why does it have Larry David on the cover?
Well, my enthusiasm is appropriately curbed.
Why is Dick Cheney thinking about Gore Vidal?
