Filipa Perry asked Otho Eskin:

Hi Otho! What books have gotten their hooks into you? What was so impactful about them?

Otho Eskin I read a lot of biographies. One of my favorites is John le Carré’s memoir, The Pigeon Tunnel. It tells of his time in the British Foreign Intelligence Service during the Cold War, along with the research he conducted for his spy novels. It intrigues me to know how authors draw upon their own lives on the page. I have also enjoyed the works of James Patterson, John Grisham, and Mick Herron. Like le Carré, these three know how to tell a story.
