Thank you for this. I appreciate your analysis, as I tried to read some of his books when I was about 16 and also struggled (I met John le Carré at a linguistics event, as my cousin is a linguist who assisted with sections of a couple of his books).

I did read Single and Single when I was about 20, so I was better able to get into it, and found it gripping - masterful "how to handle the reveals and walk the reader through the conflicts. How he builds tension." indeed smiley - ok

How smiley - cool that you met this novelist! I've seen some of his interviews on Youtube, and he must have been an interesting person to talk to.
