"The way I see it, we all have a dream of ourselves, that we could be more than we are": Special Presentation Copy of The Tailor of Panama; Warmly Inscribed by John Le Carre

Special presentation copy of the uncorrected proof of this "tour de force in which almost every convention of the classic spy novel is violated" (The New York Times). Quarto, original wrappers. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author using both his pen and real name on the title page, "For Mike from David aka John le Carre 12 Aug '96." In fine condition.

"Geopolitical conspiracy on a grand scale. By turns comic and tragic, this is the kind of reading experience we have come to expect from le Carré Surely nobody writes this kind of novel better than le Carré, not even the late Graham Greene, whose Our Man in Havana (1958) was the inspiration for this novel" (Library Journal). The film adaptation was directed by John Boorman, and starred Pierce Brosnan, Geoffrey Rush and Jamie Lee Curtis.
