Book Reviews of Smiley's Circus: A Guide to the Secret World of John Le Carre
Book Review: Absolutely Invaluable Guide to Le Carre
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a genuinely amazing book. It lists and analyzes all the characters in the novels, gives a detailed history of the Circus, and provides absorbing commentary on who did what to whom in the books and what that says about Le Carre's most important themes. I've never seen anything like it, and that includes books about writers who have devoted followings like Conan Doyle or Tolkien. And Monaghan's book is lucid and readable as well. He really should update this to include "The Russia House" and "The Secret Pilgrim."
