From Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy to A Most Wanted Man, le Carré is undoubtedly amongst the most significant authors of the late 20th century. This autumn, the Southbank Centre’s annual London Literature Festival is providing an exciting opportunity to celebrate his prolific output, with a talk from the man himself at the Royal Festival Hall on 7 September.

Here, le Carré will be in conversation with Channel 4 news anchor John Snow, to explain how he came to create his most beloved character, George Smiley, and to launch his new work, A Legacy of Spies, in which Smiley makes a welcome return. The event will also include a question and answer session, giving audience members a chance to ask le Carré their most burning questions about his works and career.


Although it is very rare for John le Carré to make public appearances of this kind, the £100 ticket price will be a little steep for most. However, the event is being filmed for broadcast, and there are cheaper tickets available, which will provide fans with some other opportunities to experience the talk without breaking the bank.
