Nick Harkaway is the acclaimed author of Gnomon, The Gone-Away World, Angelmaker, Tigerman, and Titanium Noir, among others. He is the son of John le Carré, and has a unique insight into his father’s work. The Guardian writes of Harkaway that "his great gift as a novelist . . . is to merge the pace, wit, and clarity of the best 'popular' literature and the ambition, complexity, and irony of the so-called 'literary' novel"—a rare combination which le Carré himself also achieved.
