The Pigeon Tunnel: Stories from My Life
2016 memoir by John le Carré
The Pigeon Tunnel: Stories from My Life is a memoir by British spy novelist John le Carré released on September 6, 2016. It remains the only feature length work of non-fiction in his bibliography. In the memoir, le Carré recounts stories reflecting on his time in British intelligence during the Cold War, research on his novels that took him around the globe (including an encounter with Yasser Arafat in Beirut in 1982 while researching The Little Drummer Girl), and his strained relationship with his father who influenced his semi-autobiographical novel A Perfect Spy.[1]
