Son of Le Carré gets £300,000 for SF novel

Son of Le Carré gets £300,000 for his first novel. And guess what? It's a post apocalyptic SF novel. David Cornwell is his name, his mother is Valérie Jane Eustace, a Hodder & Stoughton book editor. "I wish people didn't know about the family connection," said Mr Walsh (his agent). Yeah, right. [Via Geoff Nelder]
