Last week I heard an author (female) on NPR interviewed who had done research and wrote a book about the relationship among Emerson, Thoreau, Talbott, Alcott, Hawthorne (and maybe some other 19th century New England writers). I can't find an archive of any program on NPR , KUOW that carried it and I didn't catch the name of author or book.
Can anyone help me?

Anonymous Len Deighton, John leCarre... 0 Jan 20 2007, 9:03 PM EST by Anonymous

I'm looking for any ongoing series like Len Deighton's Game, Set, Match (and his next two trilogies also), and John leCarre's Smiley series. I'd like a recommendation for some reading where the characters (not merely the protagonist) recur and you get to "know them" better over time. An ongoing story such as Deighton's trilogies a plus.
Thanks!
