Sometimes, I like to think about Connie Sachs, and how she knew "the byways of Moscow Centre better than those who toiled there"; I love her characterization, how she tells George intel "like a fairy tale", because she sees everything in her mind so clearly! She's literally relaying stories from her vast mental kingdom. Something something mind palace. Sherlock who? He could never!

She's a visual thinker with an eide-didactic memory... She has an entire mental construct of a place she's never been, full of people she's never met, and knew almost as well as Karla who's in and who's out, like she could remote view.

And when Haydon cut her loose, of course she went round the bend, because her craft is maintaining and renovating that mental double, it's like some fucked up Winchester mansion thing. Anyway, I love her.

aaahhh yes Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy John le Carre books
