	1	Carre, John Le A Perfect Spy Bantam April 1, 1987 0-553-26456-7 / 9780553264562 Paperback Very Good Le Carre commences with the sudden disappearance from his posting and famil y in Vienna of elegant British master-spy Magnus Pym. The narrative immedia tely splits and alternates: one voice, dubious, insistent, tells of the dil igent and urgent race among ex-agent wife Mary, co-worker Jack Brotherhood, and ubiquitous Czech agent "Sergeant Pavel" to find the possible defector; the other voice (Pym's own), ruminative, wry, relates the colorful history and amoral motivations behind the successful spy. By the time the two voic es converge in the present, the comprehensive character Pymas seen by other s and by himselfstands alone, ready to carry out his decision. Not a spy no vel in the usual sense, then, but a skillfully manipulated, complex, and pr obingly written study spiced with lively anecdotes. To be savored. Price: 400.00 JPY

Bestseller le Carré (The Constant Gardener) brings a light touch to his 20th novel, the engrossing tale of an idealistic and naïve British interpreter, Bruno "Salvo" Salvador. The 29-year-old Congo native's mixed parentage puts him in a tentative position in society, despite his being married to an attractive upper-class white Englishwoman, who's a celebrity journalist. Salvo's genius with languages has led to steady work from a variety of employers, including covert assignments from shadowy government entities. One such job enmeshes the interpreter in an ambitious scheme to finally bring stability to the much victimized Congo, and Salvo's personal stake in the outcome tests his professionalism and ethics. Amid the bursts of humor, le Carré convincingly conveys his empathy for the African nation and his cynicism at its would-be saviors, both home-grown patriots and global powers seeking to impose democracy on a failed state. Especially impressive is the character of Salvo, who's a far cry from the author's typical protagonist but is just as plausible. Price: 1900.00 JPY

It was intended for a flaky English pub lisher, a womanizing saxophone-playing boozer, but the smuggler has turned it over to British intelligence. In order to prove its authenticity, they r ecruit the publisher as an amateur spy and send him to Moscow to reestablis h contact with the author. But the "truth" Barley Blair finds there is love and a purpose for his shambles of a life. As always with le Carre, this is a compelling spy story, a marvelous entertainment that is also as intellig ent, witty, and brooding as many more self-consciously and less satisfying literary novels.
