The le Carré Cast - A podcast on John le Carré novels

The Naive and Sentimental Lover – Explored Part 1

42 min•13 april 2026

This episode I’m pleased to have returning guest, author James Wolff to the show. We discuss John le Carré’s novel The Naïve and Sentimental Lover. If you’ve never read the novel and aren’t really interested in doing so, this is the show for you!

We talk about the strange love triangle at the heart of the novel, the real life comparisons and that repressed english manner.

Is this really a funny novel? Did le Carré invent the throple? And what about that ending?

Plus, Prams!

All that and more in this episode!
