Genius. Candle in the darkness.
Excellent program / interview. Thank you. Le Carre / Cornwall is brilliant. I have his latest book waiting for me to take it up - his canon - A Legacy of Spies. I'm saving it to savour it :)
The Shakespeare of spy novelists. An enlightened man who intimately knows the power and corruption of major corporations and their bought mouthpieces in both politics and in public discourse. But far more important than all that, he is a towering voice of conscience in an era severely lacking in honesty and ethics.
the towering novelist of my generation
excellent! Thanks
..We, including You, understand The Reality by our Own Eco techno Fiction status. I do not know Truth but I recognize Fiction . Fiction what system systemically spreads to cover us. How should Humanity survive ? How to fight the Lies? how to oppose it in time ? By whom ? System planted alternative traps to attract those who are underpaid or doubt their act.. Well , do not take Its Handouts. Nobody will survive this Anyway. CIV 2016 463 000034 NZ
Great interview! Thanks!
Not an expert on modern espionage but he does know his stuff, and I like too think he put more truth (if consciously or sub) into his books - Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy is very similar to what went on at the 'circus' . . .
Le Carre' is a national treasure, such a mild & meek man! Where would we be with this man at the countries helm?
Yes! finding this discussion as a single flick!! And the cherry on the cake is that StutteringBum posts the actual, original date. You are a rare, critter, SB; a Knight of the people! Kudos.
John Le Carré was speaking about the evil of false truths in 2010.
loved listening to le Carre, but the journalists were bloody boring. Her gravelly voice is annoying. Hard to believe the yanks gave her a tv show... John le Carre is one of the best authors out there... love his work!
What a nasty comment.
Appalling interviewers. I felt he wanted to get up and walk away - and who could blame him.
Why?
Pretty normal people
@@bevsmith6228 Shitty comment.
"I worry terribly that thee absence of serious critical argument is going to produce a new kind of fanaticism, the new simplicities that are as dangerous as the ones that caused us to march against Iraq and as misunderstood." - JLC. I couldn't agree more. In America we are going through a crisis of journalism where the collusion between government and major news outlets not only leaves no room for a piece of paper, but even an atom. Making matters worse our intelligence agencies are being used against us simply because we have an opposing political view. In the past we accepted a certain level of bias in the media as just par for the course so long as it balanced out and we could get an opposing view point elsewhere but that freedom is coming under increasing threat. If it wasn't for the internet we would be living in an isolated bubble of pre-screened information. We desperately need an independent media for the nation and a re-examining of what executive powers are constitutionally acceptably concerning direct involvement with our intelligence community.
"When you men get home and face an anti-war protester, look him in the eyes and shake his hand. Then, wink at his girlfriend, because she knows she's dating a pussy." -General James Mattis, Trump's secretary of defence.

RESPECT SIR !!!!!!!! My thorough and deep respect............
Thank you for characterizing well the world we live in. These issues are not going away soon and learning a taste of what's going on will be valued by those with working ears and thinking minds.
I wonder how is the life of a modern spy now.
His last interview and he gives it to two nasal irritating yanks. Nice one David, if you hate our system and the brotherhood from where you came, why not bugger off full time to Germany/Switzerland/France. You generation screwed the pooch and now we have to clear it all up. Unreal.
There is an interview he did from 2013 on here if you're interested? Search for "proms plus john le carre".
"Our Kind of Traitor" is good, but my favorites are "A Most Wanted Man", "The Russia House", and, of course, "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold". In general le Carré has continued to improve well into old age. I marched against the invasion of Iraq here in the states four days before Bush announced it (we were hoping--certainly not expecting--we could prevent it). The local paper characterized it as a "student protest", but in fact it was spring break week and few college students took part. It was mostly middle-aged people with a fair number of elderly people and a sprinkling of small children with their parents. Interesting also to hear le Carré citing the Mussolini quote considering that I'd been citing it myself quite often several years before. Le Carré hits the nail on the head when he talks about the stock holder.
Herbert Wells Those books are great, but his best IMO is The Perfect Spy. Read it, you will be amazed.
@@jfalconredskins All of these books are wonderful, but, The Naive and Sentimental Lover revealed such a knowledge of the human psyche... It's of the late 1970's but I read it again last year and it still moved me.
@@Boviss1Bovis Wow, I'd never heard of that book Going to check it out. Did you read The Perfect Spy?
@@jfalconredskins I've read all the novels. Some of the writing in A Perfect Spy and Our Kind of Traitor is at the peak of his art. A Most Wanted Man seemed to me the angriest of his writing - it was of course about Bush2 and Blair and rendition..... I was already angry about what we were doing but this revealed just how debased and reflexive we had become. It was like a body blow. Harder to take even than Constant Gardener. But for me his book about the end of Vietnam and the British in Hong Kong was the one with the greatest scope and emotional depth. It followed Tinker Tailor in the Smiley series and came at a point when I was young and impressionable. The book was a wonder to me then and still has a special place for me in the shelves and paperbacks of my memory..
@@Boviss1Bovis Downloaded and on my Kindle. I was just midway through rereading The Honourable Schoolboy, IMO one of his most underrated masterpieces. That book has everything and is so intricate. It's not exactly an easy read, at least not for me. I believe Le Carre's books need to be read not twice or three times but multiple times to really understand the story.
Wow. I had no idea of the books he wrote.
Concise, consistent, co-herent, compelling and commanding - the body of work that is... his characterisation come closer to the man himself as time passes and the relevance of the material closer to the quick.
everybody should see this....
if a politician is religious. he should reflect it through his actions and agenda, not talk about it.
Brilliant
Ricki Freakin Tarr!!! you boys are gonna need a whole new organisation, right?
The absolute literary Maestro...No one better...The most amazingly consistent and amazingly prescient writer of fiction for the last 50 years. Truly, one decent man
So eloquently put and remains true today,
Whoa...spoileralert...
