Reviews
"Makes the case that le Carré's work is far more significant than mere genre fiction. In this respect Snyder links le Carré's liberal humanism with that of George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and Graham Greene."--Myron J. Aronoff, Rutgers University, author of The Spy Novels of John le Carré: Balancing Ethics and Politics, "Snyder makes an entirely plausible case for reading these novels as narratives of intrigue which at the same time include elaborate, often very ironic dialogues about issues of world security."--David Seed, University of Liverpool, author of Under the Shadow: The Atomic Bomb and Cold War Narratives, "Snyder skillfully directs us toward le Carr's central revelation: that the various whirlwinds that Western democracies have inherited since the Wall's fall have been sown by their own arrogance, ignorance, and complacency."--Cates Baldridge, professor of English and American Literatures, Middlebury College, author of Graham Greene's Fictions: The Virtues of Extremity, "Snyder skillfully directs us toward le Carré's central revelation: that the various whirlwinds that Western democracies have inherited since the Wall's fall have been sown by their own arrogance, ignorance, and complacency."--Cates Baldridge, professor of English and American Literatures, Middlebury College, author of Graham Greene's Fictions: The Virtues of Extremity, "Makes the case that le Carr's work is far more significant than mere genre fiction.

In this respect Snyder links le Carr's liberal humanism with that of George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and Graham Greene."--Myron J. Aronoff, Rutgers University, author of The Spy Novels of John le Carr: Balancing Ethics and Politics, "Snyder has elucidated the political resonance of le Carré's post-Cold War fictional worlds and demonstrated their timely prescience. This thorough study will be useful for scholars of both contemporary British literature and popular culture. Furthermore, Snyder's book will be of interest to those who study the Cold War as well as the relationship between fiction and transnationalism."-- Papers on Language and Literature, "An in-depth study of le Carré's post-Cold War oeuvre that is brilliant, insightful, and very, very comprehensive. Snyder applies a robust critical apparatus with great intensity but also with grace so that the fluency of his prose makes the trip both pleasurable and stimulating."--David R. Willingham, publisher, Paradoxa: Studies in World Literary Genres, "Snyder makes an entirely plausible case for reading these novels as narratives of intrigue which at the same time include elaborate, often very ironic dialogues about issues of world security."--David Seed, University of Liverpool, author of Under the Shadow: The Atomic Bomb and Cold War Narratives "Makes the case that le Carré's work is far more significant than mere genre fiction.

Synopsis
Snyder traces le Carré's response to the momentous changes in geopolitics, and how--amid the "War on Terror," and the phenomenon of transnationalism--he assesses what is at stake in this conflict of deeply invested ideologies, recognizing le Carré as one of the most significant ethicists in contemporary fiction., This is an analysis of the first 10 post--Cold War novels of one of the most significant ethicists in contemporary fiction. This book challenges distinctions between "popular" and "serious" literature by recognizing le Carr as one of the most significant ethicists in contemporary fiction, contributing to an overdue reassessment of his literary stature. Le Carr 's ten post-Cold War novels constitute a distinctive subset of his espionage fiction in their response to the momentous changes in geopolitics that began in the 1990s. Through a close reading of these novels, Snyder traces how--amid the "War on Terror" and transnationalism--le Carr weighs what is at stake in this conflict of deeply invested ideologies., This is an analysis of the first 10 post--Cold War novels of one of the most significant ethicists in contemporary fiction.
