'The Amateur' — Robert Littell























Robert Littell's superb 1981 espionage novel was finally made into a film (excellent by the way) last year.

It only took 44 years.

I read the book the year it came out, and at least twice since: it's that good.

I just happened on the 2025 movie — starring Rami Malek and Rachel Brosnahan — recently.

FunFact: Littell turned 91 earlier this month.

You could look it up.
