The Game

About a week ago a certain thought passed through my mind regarding my current Le Carre book, Our Game, - it's just that it's hard to say in words, because it's a pun - that it was a game he was playing, Le Carre that is, that he was playing with the reader. Plot evaporates this perception of the book. But nevertheless it is there... Even though there's another game that the pro-antagonist is playing, and another game that is being played against him,... (or should I say games), there is that hint of flavor here that the game here isn't even in the story, it's what the writer does, the way he plays it, and how it interferes with your brain waves...
