It’s ironic because le Carré is (justly imo) frequently taken to task for phoning in his female characters, and yet paradoxically I actually think several of his most compelling characters are women
#in general i think he is extremely good at quick and confident thumbnail sketches
#and that those sketches can stray toward caricature (very sharp and blackly funny caricature which is a skill in itself!
#but at worst it can be a bit glib and I am more consistently impressed by him capturing people *quickly* than *thoroughly*)
