Agent Running in the Field by John Le Carre.

A scientific point of view was a single reason I looked into John Le Carre’s book Agent Running in the Field, which was written in 2019. I wanted to see, if he belonged to deranged far-left totally. These insinuations were in his praising of 2011’s interpretation of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. It followed that the writer joined to political correctness through awkward adding of a homosexual element in A Delicate Truth, a 2013 book that I passed with reading after learning materials and finding that a story is weak, far-fetched, and unfinished with ending. Electing of Trump was compared with rising of Hitler by Le Carre, which instantly became a hackneyed idea among far-left.

It wasn’t pretty if read anything with words “Brexit” and “Trump”. Nevertheless, I decided to go through the book. Le Carre could write light and ravishing as that he shows in this book, but Agent Running in the Field intersperses with alien dialogs in which, additionally, one character says something contradicting to what was uttered just before. The author didn’t elaborate on a disclosure of a protagonist; he dumps his biography in first-person narration, which includes exaggerated personalities whom this hero contacts. I didn’t need to follow for a fantasy world and started to learn how extreme Le Carre was about the subjects.

As any nowadays radical, he couldn’t insert his view sophisticatedly (while such people believed they can do that); only bluntly exposed them. The writer was obsessed with criticizing, frequently mixing offenses about Trump, Brexit and once that dislike was toward Boris Johnson. He couldn’t help but snipe at them in the most toxic approach. Le Carre was in an insult agony. All characters who raise talk about these two topics are making precisely the same radical opinion. It is a real case of Trump derangement syndrome. Le Carre wanted that only the protagonist to look less radical, as that his saying one time it isn’t correct to compare with Nazi Germany and there were good Germans, but these few words are an imitation of the opposite side. That view collapses under layers of far-left points. Le Carre inserts his political thoughts on Donald Trump’s policy and how Brexit was a ghastly idea constantly. It is extremely far from finesse of embedding his vision of The Great Britain in Europe in A Legacy of Spies, which was pronounced only once. The president of the United States is presented as evil outside and fictionalized inside, which this book does in an episode about a secret video where everybody shows loyalty to Trump akin to Hitler, and the lead character doesn’t forget to mention his “abomination” at what he saw. Le Carre slides into conspirology. He reminds a spy who became mad by secrets. His book is ridiculous to read now, though that perceived as a nonsense back then.

In the interviews, the author considered the Nazi analogy comes to Hungary and Poland. He hadn’t a clue, due to his mind blindness, that leaders of these countries were chosen legitimately (even despite a controversy regarding toward the media in Hungary but there nobody is restricted from finding and using alternative sources, and no arrests of opposing to the government) and no one took all power under control as Hitler did in eight months, when his candidacy and his party were only in choices.

If Le Carre could be accepted as an intelligent man in the past, not anymore since Brexit in sharing with far-left hysteria. I don’t want to begin a discussion about him.
