And yet, and perhaps this is the first remarkable comment to make about The Spy, its cynicism is resolutely de nos jours. One forgets just how unsparing the book is, how the picture it paints of human motivations, human duplicities, human frailty seems presciently aware of all that we have learned and unlearned in the intervening decades. The world was, on the surface, a more innocent, more straightforward place in the early 1. One of the shock effects of reading The Spy when it was published must have been the near nihilism of its message. It is unremittingly dark or almost so and this fact, I believe, lies at the root of its greatness. The Spy is the story, to put it very simply, of a complicated act of deadly triple bluff perpetrated by the British Secret Service against its enemies in the German Democratic Republic, as communist East Germany was then known. At its centre is Alec Leamas, sent, he believes, on a clever under cover mission of revenge but in fact the unwitting tool of even cleverer British brains with other motives. So much so relatively straightforward, but one of the sheer pleasures of the grade one espionage novel is in unravelling its multifarious complexities and Le Carr handles the unspooling web of narrative and motive with exemplary poise. The second remarkable aspect of The Spy is the skill with which it is constructed and written. It was Le Carrs third novel after the highly creditable Call for the Dead and A Murder of Quality but there is a clear sense in The Spy of a writer hitting his stride with resolute confidence. Watch Absolute Power Online Etonline. Unusually for a spy novel, Le Carrs narrative point of view is omniscient a dangerous choice, because with authorial omniscience you cannot have your cake and eat it. If you are saying to the reader that you can enter the thoughts of any character and can comment on the action or events in your own voice, then any deliberate withholding of information counts as a black mark. The narrative house of cards begins to collapse the readers trust in the authors control dissipates immediately. Hurricane Bianca Movie Watch Online.

Leamass staged three months in prison covers three pages and yet we emerge from them with a complete sense of what he must have gone through the tedium, the loss of self respect, the numbing brutalisation. The old adage of pouring a quart into a pint pot was never more successfully demonstrated. On a line by line level, furthermore, the prose is limpidly succinct and evocative. For example A girl performed a striptease, a young drab girl with a dark bruise on her thigh. She had that pitiful spindly nakedness which is embarrassing because it is not erotic because it is artless and undesiring. Or The airport reminded Leamas of the war.

Of course, we are now aware that John le Carr aka David Cornwell, was highly familiar with the secret world of espionage and counter espionage but again, in 1. The spy novel was being reshaped with The Spy it was a paradigm shift in the genre it would never be the same again and indeed its wider influence in literary fiction was manifold. However, as with a lot of artistic revolutions, this realisation comes with the benefit of hindsight. I must have first read The Spy in the early 7. I suppose, and have read it three or four times since. And I think what I relish about it and this is maybe how Le Carr transformed the genre is the implicit respect that he gives the reader. It is a very exciting read but its also highly complicated. There is a lot of challenging subtext, a lot is implicit, a lot seems initially confusing. In other words, its very sophisticated and one of the appeals of sophistication in art is the understanding that such precision, such tastes, such values, such understatements are shared. Le Carrs novel says, as it were, I know this appears unduly complex and obfuscated but you, the reader, are an intelligent person you will follow this you will understand what is going on, I dont need to spell it out or join the dots. The sheer aesthetic pleasure of reading is massively enhanced, thereby. But I dont think this fully explains why I have reread the novel over the years. Novels you reread have a different role in your personal pantheon than novels you simply admire or revere. There is something troubling about The Spy that draws you back again and again. Partly it is the sense that you may have missed something that you havent fully unravelled the intricacies and nuances of the book. One of the aspects of the novel that always bothered me was the end. Leamas, to put it in vague terms not to give the story away finally realises how he has been used by his own side, how he has been fooled, manipulated and misinformed to bring about a conclusion that was the opposite of the one he thought he was colluding in. He is offered the chance to flee, to escape and climb over the Wall with the young girl he sort of loves back to West Berlin. He and the girl are driven to a safe area of the Wall in a car provided for him by a double agent. Operationally and procedurally this seemed to me a huge error. My feeling was that an agent of Leamass vast experience and worldliness would surely be aware that such a means of escape was riven with jeopardy. Yet he goes along with it and pays the price. What had I missedReading the book again I now think I understand but it does require close attention new readers look away now. Leamas, betrayed, hoodwinked, terminally fatigued, is in a state of existential despair at the end of the novel. The opportunity to escape means nothing to him but it does mean everything to him that the girl he is with, Liz Gold, innocent, unwittingly drawn into the Circuss plotting should escape. Leamas knows unequivocally at the end of the book that he is going to be betrayed again there is a crucial, easily missed, detail about a car leaving when it is not meant to but he tries all the same to thwart that betrayal. If only he can get Liz back to the west that is all that matters to him hes indifferent to his own fate. So he tries to get Liz over the Wall.
