`Now that he is dead, we can know him better.`

Secrecy came naturally to John le Carré, and there were some secrets that he fought fiercely to keep, nowhere more so than in his private life. Seemingly content in his marriage, the novelist conducted a string of love affairs over four decades. To keep these relationships secret, he made use of tradecraft that he had learned as a spy: code names and cover stories, cut outs, safe houses and dead letter boxes.

Adam Sisman`s definitive biography, published in 2015, revealed much about the elusive spy-turned-novelist; yet le Carré was adamant that some subjects should remain hidden, at least during his lifetime. #TheSecretLifeOfJohnLeCarré is the story of what was left out, and offers reflections on the difficult relationship between biographer and subject. More than that, it adds a necessary coda to the life and work of this complex, driven, restless man.

Discover the true tale of deception from the creator of #TinkerTailorSoldierSpy. OUT NOW!

Tomorrow, we publish the Orwell Prize shortlisted #Divided by Annabel Sowemimo in paperback!

This searing polemic reveals how racism and colonialism have shaped science and medicine – leading to the health inequalities we see all around us today. Activist, doctor and patient, Annabel Sowemimo reinserts the stories of Black and Indigenous scientists and doctors into the historical narrative, reframing how we see the `objective` systems we operate within. In confronting this history, she argues for better understanding of our collective past to bring about urgent change.

This is essential reading for Black History Month and beyond.
