    John Le Carré
    “When people ask me whether I am a spy –‘are you now, or have you ever been?â€� –I am tempted to reply with a hearty –‘Yes, and since the age of five.â€� For a state of watchfulness must surely be the first requisite of a writer, as it is of a secret agent. A writer, like a spy, must prey upon his neighbours; like a spy he is dependent on those whom he deceives; like a spy he must somehow contrive to keep a distance from his own feelings and by doing so conjure up a package that will meet with the approval of his masters. Like a spy, he is not merely an outsider, but implicitly a subversive..”
