This has a jarring farcical quality. This seris always has an element of critique, but this one opened with ridiculous behavior, and now it's returning to it in a way that I'm coming to understand as farce and comedic caricature. Which is a poor fit, and no wonder this book is regarded as a notably weak installment.

Glad to get back to Smiley working in England for a bit.

Craw is just so intensely unpleasant.
