The master of espionage returns with a thrilling tale of dirty tricks in the war on terror, says Jon Stock.
The new novel will be Radio 4’s book at bedtime from 13 May, and will be read by Homeland’s Damian Lewis.
CIA spooks regularly review spy fiction for a classified in-house journal, rating John le Carré above American writers for his veracity, reports Jon Stock.
Ian McEwan tells Jon Stock at The Telegraph about the pleasure of writing a spy novel with a twist – and why he believes it’s high time John le Carré won the Booker Prize.

‘With A Delicate Truth, le Carré has in a sense come home. And it’s a splendid homecoming… the novel is the most satisfying, subtle and compelling of his recent oeuvre’
Writes Marcel Berlins for The Times.
‘… never predictable, and always exploring new frontiers… A Delicate Truth becomes progressively relentless and angry. Le Carré picks over the cynicism of the secret state with a kind of cold fury.’
Writes Robert McCrum.
As reported in Empire Magazine, the Oscar-winning screenwriter is in advanced talks to script the feature film adaptation of John le Carré’s latest novel.

In a new introduction to the 50th Anniversary edition, the author describes how his political disgust and personal confusion ‘exploded’ in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. Fifty years later he asks how much has changed.
