What about real spies did le Carre capture that makes real spies respond to his fictional spies - and then imitate them and their language? We'll also talk shop about writing and the many challenges of repurposing a life in espionage as art. SHOW NOTES For more information about Barry Eisler, visit barryeisler.com .
