In this episode we look at Nick Harkaway’s 2024 George Smiley novel, Karla’s Choice.
Steven Ritterman, le Carré expert and collector, joins me to talk through all of our thoughts on this Smiley continuation novel.
We talk reference Jurassic Park’s famous quote “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should,”
All that and much more in this episode.
We’ll be back in two weeks for part 2.
