Writer Patrick deWitt on his new novel "The Sisters Brothers"

Host Dan Johnson interviews Oregon writer Patrick deWitt about his new novel The Sisters Brothers, in which he pays homage to the classic Western, transforming it into a comic tour de force. The cast of characters includes losers, cheaters, and ne'er-do-wells from all stripes of life. The story is told by a complex and compelling narrator in the underworld of the 1850s frontier.

Patrick deWitt was born on Vancouver Island in 1975. He has also lived in California, Washington, and Oregon, where he currently lives with his wife and son. He is the author of two novels, Ablutions and The Sisters Brothers.
