The Night Manager: Le Carré Lite, starring Tom Hiddleston
The Binge — Jessica Zafra
DEVOTEES of the spy novelist John le Carré will tell you that there’s prime le Carré — his magnificent Cold War novels — and late period le Carré — the yarns which are regarded with affection rather than reverence. At last count, 15 le Carré works have been adapted for film and television; two of these exemplify the difference between the prime and late periods.
