“I was lucky enough to meet this man, drink with this man AND work with this man!
I still pinch myself about our friendship to this day.”
“Sizing one another up, testing and teasing each other constantly.
Until, I called him an old fart.
I watched his eyes light up with glee and we both cackled until we cried.
We knew a magical friendship had arrived.”
RIP David Cornwall, aka…
THE John le Carre.”
“For me, John Le Carre was many things,” Oldman said.
All who follow are in his debt."
He always had immediate answers.
He was generous with his creativity, and always a true gentleman.
The true Spy Master of several generations has left us.
But George Smiley and the others live on.
Thank you David."
Fellow writers such asStephen KingandNeil Gaimanalso mourned Le Carre’s loss.
