[quote=Anonymous]I’m the OP of this oldish thread. Reporting back that I’m currently loving “Red White Blue,” by Lea Carpenter. It’s not a traditional spy novel. Carpenter uses a non-linear structure with far less action than typical. I’d consider it more of a mystery + exploration of the prismatic aspects of life as a CIA operative (and those who “know” them.) No clue how accurate any of it is, but it’s certainly thought-provoking. Plus Carpenter can write!! I’m starting to see it more as literary fiction and less of as a spy novel / genre fiction (not saying that’s bad, just different - I truly like both.) On that note, any new recommendations for contemporary spy novels, either plot-based thrillers or more literary like this one? Thanks![/quote]
