John Le Carre Valued Adjuncts

John Le Carre had a deep empathy for adjunct faculty (or the adjunct/temporary equivalent in other professions), a sentiment haunting -- or enlivening -- many of his works -- and which shows his true underdog allegiance, no matter his own class standing and personal successes.

The Imp of the Perverse

 

"There is a perverse mood of the mind which is rather soothed than irritated by misconstruction; and in quarters where we can never be rightly known, we take pleasure, I think, in being consummately ignored.  What honest man on being taken for a housebreaker, does not feel more tickled than vexed at the mistake?"
