In this episode, novelist Michael Idov returns to discuss John le Carré’s novel Our Game. Michael has written for numerous publications, was the Editor in chief of GQ Russia, is also a screenwriter and director and author of the new spy novel The Collaborators.

We talk about where Our Game should fit in the le Carré canon and what is going on in Russia. We also talk about how to write characters that don’t match you background. Plus, Michael talks about subversion with his show The Optimists. It’s a fun conversation I think you’ll enjoy.

All that and much more in this episode.
