John le Carre - Blacklight VPRO Interview part 2

[vivascargill]

He almost gets it but not yet in Call for the Dead he quotes Duchess of Malfi but not the key line--the mad prince having killed his sister now thinks he is wolf only he adds (paraphrase) a wolf had hair on the outside and he had hair on the inside--was the USSR a wolf? I don't think so but Le Carre did not see the mad prince (the USA) because its hair was on the inside--he was sleep walking--to quote smiley--he's woken up--too late.

Le Carre's answer cuts off @5:48 and is missing. J le C on what a humiliated resident of a Lebanese camp / London underground 7/7 / would be controversial to some ...

Part 3 is a different question. Any answer on where his answer is / what happened? Or of restoring the whole thing?

[orlandocat]

Yes, frustrating!! Can someone post it?

[bloemetjen]

For some reason I can get the link to a certain website in this reaction.

Google: Tegenlicht John le Carre.

On this site you can see the whole interview.

I lost the original material...

This is what Bill Haydon was talking about. But no, no one listened.

[mendelbot]

Jim Prideaux listened.

[vivascargill]

YES YES YES!

"Does nobody remember any history anymore...?" -john le carre-

That's the great problem of humanity, we don't remember history...

[orlandocat]

This is most pertinant given the recent events in Iran.

[bloemetjen]

Indeed...we are only six years after the last fiasco and the same game is played again with the whole world watching...

Israel attacking Iran would be a disaster for the whole world. Human as well as economic wise...

In my opinion it's very normal for Iran being so suspicious towards the west. Action is reaction...

@bloemetjen Absolutely right.
