Populismus, Datenmissbrauch und Fake News – was tun, wenn die Welt plötzlich in Flammen steht? Nat, ein ehemaliger Spion, kehrt gerade nach London zu seiner Frau zurück, als ihm ein letzter Auftrag erteilt wird, da Moskau zur Bedrohung wird. Um sich zu erholen, spielt Nat Badminton, neuerdings gegen Ed, einen jungen Mann, der Brexit und Trump verabscheut und unzufrieden mit seiner Arbeit in einer seelenlosen Medienagentur ist. Ed fordert Nat auch außerhalb des Spielfelds heraus und zwingt ihn, seine Haltung gegenüber seinem eigenen Land zu hinterfragen und eine folgenschwere Entscheidung zu treffen. „Federball“ ist ein altmodisches, aber aktuelles Werk und möglicherweise nicht das letzte von John le Carré. Es benötigt kein Spektakuläres, um glaubwürdig zu sein. Le Carré benennt schonungslos die Geheimnisse unserer Zeit, was ihn zu einem faszinierenden Autor macht. Niemand verwandelt ein höfliches Gespräch am Tisch in ein hochgefährliches Spiel wie er. Eine große TV-Dokumentation „Der Taubentunnel“ wird am 20. Oktober 2023 auf Apple TV+ ausgestrahlt.
