That slip was born of exactly the comparison you suggested,
Kerry. The Tailor of Panama seems almost a tribute to Greene,
IMO. Both are fine books, and though I prefer Greene's novel
in this case, I'm a big fan of LeCarre over all. When he's at
his best as in (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy or The Spy Who
Came In From The Cold) he's as good as Greene or as our own
Graham Greene, Ward Just, whose Vietnam novel "A Dangerous
Friend," is outstanding and noirish enough to be
on-topic.
