In this episode, we talk about LeCarre's 1977 epic novel The Honourable Schoolboy. The follow-up to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is massive in scope and ambitious in tone. LeCarre takes a risk, leaving the familiar fields of Europe for the cities and jungles of southeast Asia. The result is something unlike anything he'd written before, both for better and worse.

This is the thirty-fourth episode of Thrill is Gone: A podcast about thrillers. This episode marks another episode in our series Tinker, Tailor, Podcast, Spy, where we read all of LeCarre's work from Call for the Dead all the way to Agent Running in the Field. We are also going to be checking out the movies and radio dramas along the way.
