SILVERVIEW by John Le CarreViking, $28I first encountered John Le Carre the way most of us serendipitously find new favorite authors, on holiday, picking through someone else’s bookshelf. I found a paperback of The Honorable Schoolboy in a friend’s villa in Italy I was renting, thought “I’ll read a few pages of this, get bored, and go sit by the pool and daydream,” basically my default position in life, even when there’s no pool around. I did not get bored.
