Pigeon Tunnel

About This Novel

After serving in MI5 and MI6, he shocked the literary world when he first tried writing. This is the only memoir of Le Carré, the British national treasure novel master. It records nearly forty unforgettable episodes in his life and reproduces the dual identity and multiple selves of a great writer. He witnessed cruel war and cold-blooded killings; he hid in trenches with war reporters, bullets flying past his ears; he interviewed terrorists in prison, but was silenced by the other party; he witnessed the society before and after the great changes in the Soviet Union, and was filled with emotion; he witnessed the moment when Brodsky won the Nobel Prize, and also experienced the frustration of film master Fritz Lang; he wrote about the alienated and difficult family relationship between his father, a liar, and himself, and pondered the similarities and differences between spies and writers. "Evasion and deception were essential weapons in my childhood. As teenagers, we were all spies of sorts, but I was already a retired veteran. When the intelligence world embraced me, it felt like coming home."
