Mike has been the Boffins storeman forever, it seems. Mike is also a writer of fiction and poetry. His 2 novels Old Jazz and The Music of Dunes were published by Fremantle Press, and are still available on request at Boffins. He has also published short fiction and poetry in various Australian literary journals. His reading tastes are wide, but mostly fiction and biography.
John Le Carré’s final novel, Silverview, is set in England’s rural fenlands and deals with the British intelligence service investigation of Edward Avon’s harrowing experiences during the Bosnian conflict which led him to be a threat to the service itself. There are many levels to this short novel and one of the mainstays is the relationship formed between Edward and 33 year old Julian Lawndsley who abandoned his financial trading career in London to open a bookshop in a small fenland town. Like all of Le Carrés espionage fiction, this novel demands your attention to detail and takes the reader into an underground world of shadow where all is suspect and riddled with unease.
(John Le Carré 1931-2020)
