A Photo: Stephen Cornwell for White Hare 2010 62 62 JOHN LE CARRé The Looking Glass War A George Smiley Novel It would have been an easy job for the Circus: to courier a can of film from Helsinki to London. In the past the Circus handled all things political, while the Department dealt with matters military. But the Department has been moribund since the War, its resources siphoned away. Now one of their agents is dead, and vital evidence verifying the presence of Soviet missiles near the West German border is gone. John Avery is the Department’s last hope. Charged with handling Fred Leiser, a German-speaking Pole left over from the War, Avery must infiltrate the East and restore his masters’ former glory. Darkly compelling and brutally Machiavellian, The Looking Glass War is a stunning accomplishment by one of today’s most remarkable and enduring literary writers. Small Town in Germany A Novel The British Embassy in Bonn is up in arms. Her Majesty’s financially troubled government is seeking admission to Europe’s Common Market just as anti-British factions are rising to power in Germany. Rioters are demanding reunification, and the last thing the Crown can afford is a scandal. Then Leo Harting—an embassy nobody—goes missing with a case full of confidential files. London sends Alan Turner to control the damage, but he soon realizes that neither side really wants Leo found alive. John le CARRé, the author of twenty-two novels, is the pseudonym for David Cornwell, who was a member of the British Foreign Service from 1959 to 1964. Many of his books have been made into films, including The Constant Gardener, The Russia House, The Little Drummer Girl, and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Praise for The Looking Glass War: “ A book of rare and great power.” —Financial Times (U.K.) “ A bitter, bleak, superlatively written novel.” —Publishers Weekly Praise for A Small Town in Germany: “ Exciting, compulsively readable, and brilliantly plotted.” —The New York Times “ Brilliant, unforgettable . . . A masterpiece.” —New Statesman (London) “ John le Carré is at the top of his form.” —The Sunday Times (London)
