An excellent interview with John Le Carre.

Author of many novels including Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Constant Gardener,
The Spy Who Came In From The Cold and his new novel Agent Running In The Field.

He expresses his views on Brexit and Trump among other things.

Years ago, Le Carre reviewed short stories for, I think, The Writer's Digest. He read one of my stories. He said that had I written it in the 40s, it would have been a sensation. Although he said he might add it to an anthology, if he were preparing one, ultimately he did not like the story. I liked the fact that he did not lie to me.

@edgarblythe,
That doesn't sound like he didn't actually like your story. Alas.

I like his take on Trump & Brexit as embryonic fascism.
