In the early 20th century, novels by Rudyard Kipling, Joseph Conrad and Erskine Childers featured spying, but the first and best truly modern spy writing was Somerset Maughamâs Ashenden (1928), based on his wartime experiences.
Courtesy of Alfred A Knopf. A Perfect Spy remains le CarrÃ©âs greatest novel, at once his most autobiographical, his most technically assured, and his most touching. I like to call it the authorâs Tender Is the Night; Magnus Pym is a total Dick Diver, just with a few more passports. The Honourable Schoolboy beats out Tinker, Tailor at No. 2 for the simple reason that it contains le CarrÃ©âs finest prose.
