John le Carré's memoir is a thrilling journey into the worlds of his 'secret sharers' - the men and women who inspired some of his most enthralling novels. From terrifying meetings with Yasser Arafat in war-torn Beirut to encounters with the great figures of 20th century film, from Stanley Kubrick to Alec Guinness.
We see our world through the eyes of one of the world's greatest writers.
