A new book delves into the personal life of renowned spy novelist John le Carré, shedding light on his philandering and its impact on his literary works. The book argues that understanding le Carré's career as a relentless seducer of women is crucial to fully grasping both the man and his novels about the secret world. It reveals previously unreported affairs and explores the deep connection between le Carré's emotional life and his writing. The revelations are further explored in the documentary 'The Pigeon Tunnel' by filmmaker Errol Morris, which features interviews with le Carré about his upbringing, espionage career, and contributions to literature.
