In John le Carr???'s electrifying novel Our Kind of Traitor, innocents abroad are drawn into the darkest recesses of the financial world. Britain is in the depths of recession. A left-leaning young Oxford academic and his barrister girlfriend take an off-peak holiday on the Caribbean island of Antigua. By seeming chance they bump into a Russian millionaire called Dima who owns a peninsula and a diamond-encrusted gold watch. He also has a tattoo on his right thumb, and wants a game of tennis. What else he wants propels the young lovers on a tortuous journey through Paris to a safe house in the Swiss Alps, to the murkiest cloisters of the City of London and its unholy alliance with Britain's Intelligence Establishment. 'If you want to know about the state of Britain today, forget the Booker shortlist. Just read John le Carr???'s latest thriller' Evening Standard 'Few recent plays have had dialogue as good, and few recent literary novels can boast a set of characters so vividly imagined. Our Kind of Traitor is a teasing, beguiling, masterly performance' Sunday Times John le Carr??? was born in 1931 and attended the universities of Bern and Oxford. He taught at Eton and served briefly in British Intelligence during the Cold War. For the last fifty years he has lived by his pen. His most recent novel, A Delicate Truth, is also published by Penguin. He divides his time between London and Cornwall.

His Kind of Venom
Once again Le Carré displays his superb skill as a storyteller, but again he ruins his story through a pervasive bitterness toward the West; i.e., Britain and America, and their governments. What was a tolerable skepticism in his early works (cf. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold) has become virtually an obsession, and this work only leaves a... sense of the sour venom that motivates its author.

Not my cup of tea
It was a disappointment. The most boring book I have read of late. Was there a point to it?

a better "recent" Le Carre
one of his better books in a while. Great storytelling.
