1 de ago. de 2019 · I have always heard that John le Carre is the preeminent spy writer, that he came from that world and is also a serious writer. I cannot vouch for the authenticity in THE LOOKING GLASS WAR but I can confirm this book is more than “just” a spy story. The setting of the story is post-World War II, but near the beginning of the Cold War.

In "The Looking Glass War," Le Carré has written a story with some of the suspense of a spy thriller and also with some of the psychological, social density of a novel. But the two modes do not mingle well: a thriller relies upon speed and artifice, whereas a novel needs subtlety and truth of motive, which are attainable only in meditative leisure.

De boeken van John Le Carré staan altijd garant voor een goed spionageverhaal. Het is niet anders met ‘The Looking Glass War’. De regisseur, Frank Pierson (bekend van ‘Presumed Innocent’, ‘A Star Is Born’ en het script voor ‘Dog Day Afternoon’), heeft voor zijn verfilming meer de psychologische kant van het verhaal gekozen.
