ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Spymaster George Smiley was at the breakfast-table for Nick Harkaway growing up. His father, John le Carré, born David Cornwell, would draft the Circus's latest intrigues on scraps of paper at dawn and read them aloud over tea and toast. It was an apprenticeship in spymasters and writing. Five years after le Carré's death, Smiley lives on in a play on London's West End and in new novels written by Harkaway himself including a 2024 revival with another on the way.
