John le Carré

In an exclusive one-off event, the internationally best-selling writer of espionage fiction John le Carré makes a rare public appearance to introduce his new novel, A Legacy of Spies, which sees the return of his most iconic Cold War character.

In this unique Question + Answer session, le Carré discusses the full breadth of his career spanning five decades, and reflects on the continuing story of his most famous creation, the tubby, bespectacled spy, George Smiley.
