BOOK DESCRIPTION:
John le Carré, the greatest spy novelist of the Cold War
era, continues his post-Cold War quest to define the genre he helped
perfect. The classic spy novel was essentially a story of good (England, the
United States) vs. evil (Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union), in which good more
or less prevailed. The Tailor of Panama is something else entirely: a spy
novel with no spies in which the bad guys reap most of the rewards. It is
also a viciously funny satire. The novel is set in Panama, where a plot is
in place to make void the Panama Treaty, which would return control of the
Panama Canal to the Panamanians in 1999. At the center of events is Harry
Pendel, the tailor of the title. Coerced into working for British
Intelligence, he concocts out of whole cloth a left-wing movement with the
goal of luring the American military to do the dirty work--invade Panama à
la 1989 and nullify the treaty. From the characters to the setting, le Carré
has succeeded in setting new parameters for an old genre.
