There must be a lot of kidding here. Feliming compared to Le Carre is
comparing an ostrich to a horse; both can be ridden, true enough, but after
that , which would you prefer to ride?

Long ago, I made  a policy, applicable only to myself: never read a book
whose opening sentence beins with "The." Any writer worth his or her salt
knows better.
