I'm a guest on the latest episode of the
Spybrary Podcast, where host Shane Whaley and I discuss John le Carré's debut novel,
Call for the Dead.
Call for the Dead was also the debut of one of the greatest characters in spy fiction,
George Smiley, whose more famous outings include
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and
The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. We also touch on the 1966 film version,
The Deadly Affair, which was adapted by Paul Dehn in the same remarkable three-year period in which he also penned
Goldfinger and
The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. It was a pleasure talking spy fiction with Shane, and I hope to do so again in the future.
