CALL FOR THE DEAD by John le Carré, read by Simon Vance
Simon Vance affably narrates George Smiley in this first novel by John le Carré, published in 1961. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss the thrill of listening to Vance narrate this classic mystery and Smiley’s origin story. It centers around a faux suicide, East German espionage agents, and a Secret Service that prefers to sweep things under the rug. Vance’s mastery of British Isles accents, especially his upper-class inflections, contributes to le Carré's vivid storytelling.
