John le Carré to tackle 'division and rage' of 2018 in new novel / The Guardian 10 Dec 2018

John le Carré is set to confront “the division and rage at the heart of our modern world” in a new novel set in London in 2018 that will be published next year.
Agent Running in the Field follows a 26-year-old “solitary” man who, “in a desperate attempt to resist the new political turbulence swirling around him, makes connections that will take him down a very dangerous path”, according to publisher Viking.
The novel, Le Carré’s 25th, will be published in October 2019.
Mary Mount, the author’s publisher at Viking, said that the times called for writers like Le Carré. “In his plot and characterisation Le Carré is as thrilling as ever, and in the way he writes about our times he proves himself once again to be the greatest chronicler of our age,” she said. “At a moment like this we need writers like him.”
Agent Running in the Field was the original working title for le Carré’s 1986 novel A Perfect Spy, according to Adam Sisman’s 2015 biography of the author. ... [mehr] https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/dec/10/john-le-carre-agent-running-in-the-field
