Absolute Friends

it's one of those days when everything seems to connect...here is an interview with John le Carré in Salon Books.  his novel Absolute Friends will be released in this country (it's already out in Britain) next week and if you have read bruce miller's lengthy review/analysis of The End of Evil   (as i commanded you to in the previous entry), you will see what i mean by seeming to connect.  the interview is by Laura Miller, and from some of her questions to le Carré it would seem she has been scared by the fanatical idealism shown by our neoconservative leaders in that book.  as well as, of course, in many other places and events.  i have loved le Carré for as long as he's been writing, and he just seems to get better and better.  he certainly is getting more and more outraged by the leaders of both his country and this one.  so, i await this book with eagerness and trepidation.
