Byzantium's Shores: chronicling the misadventures of an overalls-clad hippie

I'm always a big fan of NPR's program Talk of the Nation, especially when the topic deals with something other than, say, Iraq. There were a couple of good ones in the last couple of weeks: a program where Neil Conan spoke with some fairly young writers about their initial experiences in publishing; a short and humorous (and hunger-inducing) segment about the relation between Jewish people and Chinese restaurants; and a fascinating progam on lost literary classics.
