David Cornwell, better known by his pen name John le Carré, was the spy-turned-novelist whose erudite tales of espionage and betrayal defined an era, gave literary heft to a genre and inspired numerous adaptations.

“This is a performance,” Cornwell says. “You need to know something about the ambitions of the people you’re talking to.” Once, at a hotel in Monte Carlo as a child, Cornwell remembers fixating on the tunnel that pigeons would fly through to provide ample shooting targets for paying men. They were bred on the roof, sent through the tunnel to either die or go back to the roof once again to tempt death all over again. Many of his books, he said, had the working title “The Pigeon Tunnel,” which he found to be a metaphor for a lot of things. It took until his memoir in 2016 for it to stick to publication.
