2020 strikes again. Jonny Geller, Le Carre's agent, announced the news of his passing.

At least David Cornwall was 89, when he left us, a pretty decent innings, and he had a long and productive career.

My favourite works by him remain Tinker, Tailor and Smiley's People. I remember being glued to the telly spellbound, watching both of those series on the BBC. I wish I had a tenth of his talent.

So sad to lose another great. RIP.


I might have to put Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy on my TBR list (because although I thought the movie was good, I had no freaking clue what was going on).
