Comment on The Looking Glass War by John Le Carré by eustaciavie

I find your review v.descriptive – not analytic, nor historic enough for myself…ie. of le carre’s writing development.

I’m reading the Looking Glass War. I feel and think heaps of disgust, cruminess, undersold vomit…..On this level I consider Le Carre surpasses himself in his portrayal the UK spy establishment of the time…..personal and social betrayal writ large: men (overgrown 5th and 6th formers really) without adequate, healthy, loving capacities, almost entirely ‘in their heads’ – schizoid to a man.

I am awed by the ways Le Carre has been able to write for so long about adults, from the view point of boys who never grew beyond the age of 17 years or more.

Do have a look at
