Wiki blurb
The Secret Pilgrim is a 1990 episodic novel by British writer John le Carré,
set within the frame narrative of an informal dinner talk given at the spy-training
school in Sarratt by George Smiley. As Smiley talks, the first-person narrator,
whom readers know only as 'Ned', recalls his own experiences in a long career
in the service.

The various episodes are triggered by comments from Smiley, which send Ned
into tangential memories. The individual stories together create a portrait of
Ned himself, moving from the start of his career at the beginning of the novel
to his retirement in the final chapter. Several of the episodes are recognisable
anecdotes or urban legends from the British intelligence community.
