INTERVIEWER
So you did not have trouble finding adversarial situations for your heroes after the Cold War?
LE CARRÉ
No, I really loved it. I'm not saying that I made the transition easily. I think I stumbled a couple of times. All sorts of things that I'd got too used to were taken away. . . . All of a sudden everything was up for grabs. It was extremely comic that the uninformed were saying that spying is over, hence le Carré is over. The one thing you can bet is that spying is never over. Spying is like the wiring in this building—it's just a question of who takes it over and switches on the lights. It will go on and on and on.
