I've read it three times now, and expect to read it again sometime. As Dickens was to the 19th century novel, Le Carre was to the novel from 1960-1980, when the cold war was at its peak, in all its paranoid glory. If you can read the chapter in which Guillam breaks into the room in which the log books are kept, and not feel a terrible unease, then you don't remember the cold war.
