The first memoir from John le Carr, the legendary bestselling author of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy  The Spy Who Came in from the Cold  and The Night Manager, now a television series starring Tom Hiddleston.

From his years serving in British Intelligence during the Cold War, to a career as a writer that took him from war-torn Cambodia to Beirut on the cusp of the 1982 Israeli invasion to Russia before and after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, le Carr has always written from the heart of modern times. In this, his first memoir, le Carr is as funny as he is incisive, reading into the events he witnesses the same moral ambiguity with which he imbues his novels. Whether he's writing about the parrot at a Beirut hotel that could perfectly mimic machine gun fire or the opening bars of Beethovens Fifth  visiting Rwandas museums of the unburied dead in the aftermath of the genocide  celebrating New Years Eve 1982 with Yasser Arafat and his high command  interviewing a German woman terrorist in her desert prison in the Negev  listening to the wisdoms of the great physicist, dissident, and Nobel Prize winner Andrei Sakharov  meeting with two former heads of the KGB  watching Alec Guinness prepare for his role as George Smiley in the legendary BBC TV adaptations of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smileys People  or describing the female aid worker who inspired the main character in The Constant Gardener, le Carr endows each happening with vividness and humor, now making us laugh out loud, now inviting us to think anew about events and people we believed we understood.

Best of all, le Carr gives us a glimpse of a writers journey over more than six decades, and his own hunt for the human spark that has given so much life and heart to his fictional characters.
