Product Information
How wonderful to have your letter, the contents of which I passed to Jonathan Powell at the BBC this morning. If possible, he was even happier than I was to heart that, in principle, you are enthusiastic to take on Smiley. Let me go straight to your points. Sixty-four is the ideal age. Smiley can't be less, arithmetically, and I fear that he may be more, though I have deliberately arrested the passage of time in the later books! So nobody is at all worried on that score, and you must not be either. Spry, certainly, and at times in his prime; hardy when he needs to be; all of those things. No, you are not rotund or double chinned, though I think I have seen you in rôles where you have, almost as an act of will, acquired a sort of cherubic look! Let me answer this question together with your point about Arthur Lowe, because, speaking personally, they enable me to say why I at least see you as the ideal Smiley. Apart from plumpness, you have all the other physical qualities a mildness of manner, stretched taut, when you wish it, by an unearthly stillness and an electrifying watchfulness. In the best sense, you are uncomfortable company, as I suspect Smiley is. An audience wishes-when you wish it-to take you into its protection. It feeels responsible for you, it worries about you. I don't know what you call that kind of empathy but it is very rare, & Smiley and Guinness have it: when either of you gets his feet wet, I can't help shivering.... Book jacket.

master." --BookPage, Praise for A Private Spy : " A Private Spy , a collection of correspondence spanning much of his [John le Carré's] life, offers a fresh look at his brilliance." -- New York Times
