It’s an absolutely fascinating documentary, watched it 2-3 times now

Yes and no, the book is his memoir, the movie is an interview about his life conducted by the director Errol Morris just before le Carré died.

A master of building a story and creating an increasing level of suspense.
Spent many a night when I was younger, looking at the clock while reading a JLC novel.
"Shit, I have to go to work tomorrow at 06:00, OK, only one more page!"

Still remember the times I had to jump into a cold shower to brace myself for work after spending all night saying "OK, next chapter! That's it!".
