Today, I opened my New York Times to learn that John le Carré (the pen name of David John Moore Cornwell) had died.

From NYTIMES (12/14/20), “John le Carré, a Master of Spy Novels Where the Real Action Was Internal” (online version)

To my discredit, I’ve never read a le Carré novel. To rectify this literary vacuum, I went to the Brighton Memorial Library and borrowed the CD John le Carré, A DELICATE TRUTH, Read by the author (2013).
When there, I learned the BML had already begun constructing an exhibit to honor le Carré. The BML is known for its ever revolving exhibits that capture literary and historic moments.

When I returned to BML in the afternoon, the exhibit was completed.
