Ann Patchett's "Whistler" and "The Patron Saint of Liars"

The release of a new novel can be a good excuse to revisit a writer's back catalog.

Sometimes, especially with a writer you really like, it's a pleasant surprise to find a few early gems you somehow missed.

I'm Lisa Morgan, and today on The Weekly Reader, our book critic, Marion Winik, reviews Ann Patchett's latest book, and revisits her debut novel, which came out way back in 1992.

Hi, Marion.

Hi, Lisa.
