One of my favourite authors. The skill and knowledge he used in writing his Cold War "Smiley" books was unparalleled. And his later, more political works were both perceptive and entertaining. I wonder if there are any unfinished works still in the pipeline? He will be sadly missed.

It's strange I've had several of his books over the years but never got into them whilst enjoying the films. Reading about his very unusual upbringing, it's hard to work out where fiction starts and ends but it must have come out in the books and they certainly were popular.
