        @AMK0enig please. The spy who came in from the cold is a much better, more succinct novel

        @AMK0enig I'd argue that magnus pym wasn't a perfect spy either. There'd have been no novel if so

        @NewYorker @pkedrosky there’s no need for this. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is unassailably the best spy novel ever written.

        @SBarlow_ROB @NewYorker @pkedrosky Agreed. It is also the quintessential telling of Britain's post-war malaise. A true cultural artefact.
