John le Carré is still at the top, more than half a century after 'The Spy Who Came in from the Cold' became a worldwide bestseller. From his bleak childhood - the departure of his mother when he was five was followed by 'sixteen hugless years' in the dubious care of his father, a serial-seducer and con-man - through recruitment by both MI5 and MI6, to his emergence as the master of the espionage novel, le Carré has repeatedly quarried his life for his fiction. This is a major biography of one of the most important novelists alive today.
