Books by John le Carré

John le Carré (1931–2020), born David John Moore Cornwell, worked for MI5 and MI6 before leaving to write full time after the success of The Spy Who Came in from the Cold in 1963. He is the author of more than twenty novels, including the Smiley trilogy, The Night Manager, The Constant Gardener, and A Most Wanted Man. His fiction reshaped the espionage genre by treating intelligence work as morally ambiguous rather than heroic. He was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and received the Goethe Medal and the Olof Palme Prize.
