We look at sibling rivalry and inspiration — the art that springs from the closeness and fierce conflicts among families. Kurt Andersen’s guests are the novelists (and sisters) Susan and Eliza Minot. We wonder if there’s a unique harmony to siblings who sing together. Poet Galway Kinnell tells how Yeats’ Lake Isle of Innesfree brought him closer to his ailing sister. And we watch brothers and sisters in the movies — from Dead Ringers to Big Night.
