Lee Smith has been writing fiction since she was a child, and her long career has drawn comparisons to Eudora Welty. In her new collection of short stories, Mrs. Darcy and the Blue-Eyed Stranger, Smith offers new works and favorites from older collections.

Then, entertainment critic David Kipen tells Bob what’s new in theaters.

I loved your recent interview with author Lee Smith. She is a mesmerizing storyteller with an equally mesmerizing delivery. I could have listened to her talk all day!
