Review
Praise for "A Delicate Truth"
At the moment a new generation is stumbling upon his work, le Carre is still writing at something close to the top of his game. . . . [He]has not lost his ability to sketch, in a line or two, an entire character. Dwight Garner, "The New York Times Magazine"
The narrative dominoes fall with masterly precision. . . . As ever, le Carre s prose is fluid, carrying the reader toward an inevitable yet nail-biting climax. Olen Steinhauer, "The New York Times Book Review"(front page)
Timelier than ever. "The New York Times"
Well-wrought . . . A sharply sketched gallery of characters. "The Wall Street Journal"
Le Carre is fiercely modern. . . . a confluence of styles, voices, approaches . . . A novel that beckons us beyond any and all expectations. "TheWashington Post"
Gorgeous writing. It s sophisticated storytelling at its very best. "USA Today"
Le Carre is...at full power with a book that draws on a career s worth of literary skill and international analysis. No other writer has charted pitilessly for politicians but thrillingly for readers the public and secret histories of his times. "The Guardian"(UK)"
"Simply the world's greatest fictional spymaster." --"Newsweek"
"Le Carre is still the grand master of the modern literary thriller." --"Time" (Canada)
"The man deserves the Nobel." --"Globe and Mail"
