    LeCarré fans, he did not disappoint

SilverviewLeCarré fans, he did not disappointLike so many, I was overjoyed to hear a new LeCarre novel was being released. I purchased the book but held off reading even though I was dying to jump into it.  I knew it would be the last LeCarré story published.  I’d hoped it would be another of his gems and I soon discovered that it indeed was a gem.  Not a gem in the sense of Tinker Tailor Sailor Spy whose echos reverberate throughout the story.  Like TTSS a very senior Service officer, Proctor, who like Smiley, has an unfaithful wife, is given the assignment of tracking down and recreating the career movements of a former field agent, Edward.  The Service has been recently notified that he may not have remained loyal during his career and afterwards.  Edward is one of the most enigmatic, complex characters I’ve met.  He is mysterious with a charming personality.  Though what does that mean with regard to Edward?  He involves himself with an innocent bookstore owner, who has recently left the London rat race.  The plot ensues with Proctor, in painstakingly detail, unearthing the movements and motivations of Edward since the Bosnian war and before.  It reminded me (echos of TTSS) of Karla, the Soviet spy master.  I don’t like to rehash the details of the story.  They can be found elsewhere. But suffice it to say that LeCarre’s intricate analysis of personalities, their hidden motivations and clever dialogue are as good as ever.At 210 pages I wanted more but that shall be the last from from this superb novelist.  Nevertheless, it a worthy capstone to a great career.

    compelling
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2022*

i have only read a couple of his books, but when president obama added this book to his summer read list in 2022, i realized i had never kept up on all of his books. it was compelling. personally i loved the character of the bookseller and found myself not putting the book down because i loved the dialogue between him and his mysterious guest. the author can say so much in a handful of words, i was often finding myself reading passages again and again just to admire how the structure and vocabulary. i did feel that the middle of the book rushed into a quick summary that would have been better had it not summarized past connections as fast as it did. only after the book was finished did i realize the characters in the books whose lives compelled me to read faster, their roles in the book were somewhat diminished as though they had just been a fun little tool to snare me into reading nonstop. but that said, there is plenty in this book to recommend a reader pick up a copy and enjoy this last tale from a master storyteller.

    Le Carre's Progression is complete with this last novel.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2022*

A short book.  Great writing....characters equal to Le Carre's best but too short to offer the wonderful backstories we loved about George Smiley, Jerry Westerby, etc.  still very appealing folks.The motivations are all solid.  As a midwestern american, my viewpoint of Russia, China, the Muslim world as a whole is that each was more enamored of Genocide than I'm comfortable with....and their base cruelty whether thru benign starvation (russia) or vicious murder (Turkey and china) would be familiar to my Texas forebearers experience with Comanches and Apaches.But the English have always struggled to dislike these old enemies.....preferring to forget their sins in preference to staring into their mirrors and seeing their own many real and imagined sins grow disproportionately over time.  I attribute this to the mass slaughter/horrendous losses of WW1 which wiped out the very best of a generation, followed by still more losses in WW2.  I don't think the country ever recovered from their loss...and left subsequent generations foundering politically with no clear perspective as to a course for their country and its culture.LeCarre's novels seemed to follow that diminished confidence in what is right and wrong or good and bad as Smiley/LeCarre aged their perspective on the past changed and left them uncertain of their actions in the past......not for saying England was wrong in what they did, but more just lacking in what they could/should have done.Standards are much lower here among American readers where our culture is much less sensitive to past wrongs.  We prefer not to dwell on past wrongs, whether the bloody past of a Civil War, the American Indian wars, slavery, the often unexlained murders of Presidents and popular politicians.  We are just not prone to introspection .  Preferring to think there were many more positives than negatives in the rear view mirror.....perhaps because of the deep economic success compared to England.  In my family 120 years ago an orphan from a landless (and slaveless) share cropping family progresses 4 generations later to a family of lawyers, physicians, bankers, and engineers....not rich but prosperous.  When things like that happen to individuals, the uglier "big" sins of recent history are forgotten.  Not so by LeCarre...right is right, and failures to address sins and shortfalls are fatal, unforgiveable errors and a source of agony.Oh well every country is different.
