Reader’s Note
7 out of 10
I gave up twice before I got past Benjy. The third attempt, with the Norton and its chronology beside me, worked; the fourth section is the reason to persist, and the appendix Faulkner added in 1946 should not be read first.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy reviewed by @theodore_p
Smiley reconstructing an old file in a rented room beats any car chase ever filmed. The real subject is institutional decline and the spying is only how it gets delivered. Fifty pages of tradecraft vocabulary, and then you simply have it.9 out of 10Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
