The Russia House by John le Carré Explored – Part 1

In this episode, writer and podcaster Keir Graff joins to discuss John le Carré’s novel The Russia House.

We talk about whether book people would make good spies and le Carré’s eye for local details. We also discuss whether this book has more P.G. Wodehouse than other le Carré novels.

Plus, would an editor nowadays cut the first 50 pages?

All that and much more in this episode.
