Adam Sisman on The Secret Life of John le Carré – Interview
Manage episode 380476077 series 3374744
This episode I’m excited to welcome John le Carré’s biographer Adam Sisman to the show.
We discuss his latest book The Secret Life of John le Carré which looks at le Carré affairs which Sisman left out of his previous biography.
Topics include why Sisman felt he needed to write this new book, the push and pull between biographer and subject, le Carré and Bond, and Sisman’s affection for le Carré.
All that and more in this episode.
Come back in two weeks for our next episode.
