do we know if Bill was faking it when he got called into the office the night Jim was shot? I've always found his reaction quite wrenching in all versions of the story, but it occurred to me that Le Carre might want us to think that he had inside info about the incident coming in & was pretending to be all surprised and torn up about his best buddy possibly being shot dead for appearances' sake

The short answer is no. We don’t really know, and there’s no 100% right or wrong answer here, at least not entirely.

As for the long answer, which is more akin to “What is my interpretation?”….
