David John Moore Cornwell - better known by his pen name John le Carré - UK author, best known for his espionage novels,
many of which were successfully adapted for film or television.
Born 19th October 1931 – Died 12th December 2020

Certainly awkward, although if high enough & near a window with a good view & a pair of binoculars handy, you could scrape by & avoid any 'danger'...
