Now that I’ve finished #KarlasChoice by @harkaway.bsky.social, I can tell you how bloody good it is. Sleepless with pain from my recent knee replacement, I was up with it until 5 this morning. And I found myself begrudging every word as the end approached but needing to reach its conclusion.

One of 2024’s biggest surprises was @harkaway.bsky.social picking up his father’s pen and writing a new adventure for British institution, #GeorgeSmiley. #KarlasChoice is the result and it’s like visiting an old and cherished friend.

She imagined herself in 10 yrs, still running the office for a ghost. She wanted to ask #Smiley what to do, but found he had slipped away.

The key to getting any kind of traction with Control lay in recognising the absence of words not as a prelude but as the meeting in itself, and making him say what he wanted to say.
#KarlasChoice
(Good advice, George - never feel forced to fill silence in a meeting or, worse, an interview.)

‘George can handle Róka for me. He owes us that much.’
Yes, Smiley thought, that’s it exactly. I served you for twenty-five years and more, but all that creates is a greater obligation to keep going. The salamander lives in the fire because it has forgotten how to live any other way.

In Smiley’s experience, the narrow window of action lived in the delay between your first movement and your enemy’s comprehension of the choice. Once they knew what you were doing, you needed to have done it and be doing something else.

This was the man, she realised, she had been brought to meet. The one who would put it all right.

This in other words was one of England’s secret chiefs, bathed in power. Here in his office, she thought, he looked less like a janitor and more like a greengrocer.

…afterwards a figure she took to be a doorman or a janitor: a stout, hurried little man with pouch cheeks and thick-framed spectacles who opened her door and put out his hand to lift her up out of the car. She judged he was wearing a second hand suit. It was well-made but not for him.

I’ve started reading #KarlasChoice. Cue a long family discussion over coffee about where Smiley, Alleline and Haydon went to school.
Dad: I bet Alleline and Haydon went to Eton
Me: Maybe Haydon, but not Percy and he’s still sore about it.

In a conversation with Ben Okri, years ago now, Marcus du Sautoy described how a good mathematical proof works: it takes you from the familiar, then explains each steps as you travel to somewhere completely new and different. #KarlasChoice does that, with very human, unpredictable characters.
