The Pigeon Tunnel

One of the greatest spy novelists of all time, John le Carre’s life encompasses the Cold War era, when he served as a British Intelligence Officer, through a career as a writer that spans six decades. It is a journey that has taken him from war-torn Cambodia, to Beirut on the cusp of the 1982 Israeli invasion and Russia before and after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, inspiring writing that comes from the cusp of modern times. The Pigeon Tunnel, le Carre’s first memoir, is an incisive, often funny chronicle of these extraordinary times, written with the same critical eye for the moral ambiguity of human motivation with which his readers will already be familiar. Le Carre revels as much in the minutiae of barely glimpsed moments as large-scale reportage and is as insightful writing about the parrot at a Beirut hotel that could perfectly mimic machine gun fire as he is conjuring memories of visiting Rwanda’s museums of the unburied dead in the aftermath of the genocide.
