John Le Carre - The Authors List

John Le Carre. The Authors List. 7 classic spy novels of his that I've read. Started off with The Spy Who Came In From The Cold which I read in late 1973. Then it was on to the George Smiley Trilogy starting with Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. I also liked the films made from these two novels. Later I enjoyed reading The Night Manager and then also watching the BBC television series based on the novel.

He has written 26 novels. I read the last novel of his lifetime in 2020 shortly after it was published. I sometimes think I should go back and read those books backward starting with the the most recent one.



John Le Carre books I've read:

  • The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, 1963 - Nov 1973
  • Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, 1974 - May 1974
  • The Honourable Schoolboy, 1977 - Dec 1977
  • Smiley's People, 1979 - Sep 1981
