John le Carre’s Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents’ Club with Adam Sisman
Posted: May 17th, 2026 | No Comments »In March I spent some time with John le Carre’s biographer Adam Sisman. We spoke at the Hong Kong International Literary Festival and the Macao International Literary Festival (aka The Script Road) about le Carre, his time in mid-1970s Hong Kong and his Hong Kong-set magnum opus The Honourable Schoolboy (1977). You can see a video of our conversation in Macao’s Casa Garden here…
And there’s also a piece by me on le Carre’s time at the Hong Kong FCC (then at Sutherland House on Chater Road just before it moved to its current location on Lower Albert Road) and an interview (again by me) with Sisman in the bar at the FCC in the most recent edition of the Club’s in-house magazine, The Correspondent.
