Two souvenir typescripts, one page, 8.5 x 11, signed at the bottom in blue ink. The opening passages of The Russia House, beginning with “In a broad Moscow street not two hundred yards from the Leningrad station, on the upper floor of an ornate and hideous hotel built by Stalin in the style known to Muscovites as Empire During the Plague, the British Council’s first ever audio fair for the teaching of the English language and the spread of British culture was grinding to its excruciating end.” Le Carré has also corrected (adding an apology) the misspelling of his typed name on both pages. In fine condition. RRAuction COA.
