British author Michael Frayn begins his new novel "Spies" with the description of a smell. It's the heady smell of a privet hedge in mid-summer. A scent that spurs an old man to remember the events of a war-time summer long ago. Frayn is a novelist and playwright*. He wrote the best seller "Headlong" and his play "Noises Off" is now a theater standard. His most recent play "Copenhagen" won three Tony awards in 2000. He told Minnesota Public Radio's Euan Kerr he has been meaning to write the story for years.
