The Tailor of Panama

John le Carré: The Tailor of Panama (UK 2020)

From the Publisher:
Charmer, fabulist and tailor to Panama's rich and powerful, Harry Pendel loves to tell stories. But when the British spy Andrew Osnard - a man of large appetites, for women, information and above all money - walks into his shop, Harry's fantastical inventions take on a life of their own. Soon he finds himself out of his depth in an international game he can never hope to win.

Le Carré's savage satire on the espionage trade is set in a corrupt universe without heroes or honour, where the innocent are collateral damage and treachery plays out as tragic farce.

John le Carré: The Tailor of Panama. Penguin Classics, ISBN: 9780241337233 (July, 2020), 448 p., £14.99.

The Tailor of Panama

John le Carré: The Tailor of Panama (USA 1996)

From the Publisher:
Le Carré's Panama -- the young country of 2.5 million souls which, on December 31, 1999, will gain full control of the Panama Canal—is a Casablanca without heroes, a hotbed of drugs, laundered money and corruption.

Seldom has the weight of global politics descended so heavily on such a tiny and unprepared nation. And seldom has the hidden eye of British Intelligence selected such an unlikely champion as Harry Pendel -- a charmer, a dreamer, an evader, a fabulist and presiding genius of the house of Pendel & Braithwaite Co. Limitada, Tailors to Royalty, formerly of London and presently of Panama City.

Yet there is a logic to the spies' choice. Everybody who is anybody in Central America passes through Pendel's doors. He dresses politicos and crooks and conmen. His fitting room hears more confidences than a priest's confessional. And when Harry Pendel doesn't hear things as such -- well, he hears them anyway, by other means.

For what is a tailor for, if not to disguise reality with appearance? What is truth if not the plaything of the artist? And what are spies and politicians and journalists if not themselves selectors and manipulators of the truth for their own ends?

In a thrilling, hilarious novel, le Carré has provided us with a satire about the fate of truth in modern times. Once again, he has effortlessly expanded the borders of the spy story to bring us a magnificent entertainment straight out of the pages of tomorrow's history.

The Tailor of Panama

John le Carré: The Tailor of Panama (UK 1996)

From the Publisher:
It was a perfectly ordinary Friday afternoon in tropical Panama until Andrew Osnard barged into Harry Pendel's shop asking to be measured for a suit.

So begins John le Carré's dazzling new novel set in contemporary Panama, reluctant host and future owner of the second largest gateway to world trade.

Harry Pendel, Jewish-Irish foster child, is the charismatic proprietor and guiding genius of Pendel and Braithwaite Limitada, Tailors to Royalty, formerly of Savile Row, through whose doors passes everyone who is anyone in Central America. Andrew Osnard, mysterious and fleshly, is an Old Etonian and spy. His secret mission is two-pronged: to keep a watchful eye on the political manoeuvrings leading up to the American handover of the Panama Canal at midday on 31st December 1999; and to secure for himself the immense private fortune that has until now churlishly eluded him.

And Osnard knows more about Pendel than Pendel knows himself...

Not since A PERFECT SPY has le Carré packed so much suspense, compassion and wit into one story; never has he used the secret world to better effect to portray the motives and values of the supposedly open world in which we live; not since TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY has he provided us with such characters riding together on a merry-go-round of mutual deception until the explosively terrifying finale.

Already acclaimed as one of the most skilled, entertaining and important novelists writing today, John le Carré has written a book of such poignant drama, perfect characterisation, humour and sadness that it will be regarded as a masterpiece.

John le Carré: The Tailor of Panama. Hodder & Stoughton, ISBN: 034068478X (October, 1996), 410 p., £16.99.
