Overview

""It's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, my home town . . ."" Lake Wobegon has been Garrison Keillor's fictional home town--and America's--for almost 40 years. Many of us have grown up with ""the little town that time forgot and the decades cannot improve."" The Chatterbox Café, the Sidetrack Tap, the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility, the Bunsens and the Krebsbachs, the Lake Wobegon Whippets--these are places, people, and sports teams we know and love, thanks to Keillor's ability to weave a story and tell it live.Never before collected, these expertly crafted tales are full of gentle humor, genuine emotion, and (more often than not) surprising insights into family, relationships, community, faith, and hope.

Author Information

Garrison Keillor, born in Anoka, Minnesota, in 1942, is an essayist, columnist, blogger, and writer of sonnets, songs, and limericks, whose novel Pontoon the New York Times said was a tough-minded book . . . full of wistfulness and futility yet somehow spangled with hope-no easy matter, especially the spangling. Keillor wrote and hosted the radio show A Prairie Home Companion for forty years, all thanks to kind aunts and good teachers and a very high threshold of boredom. In his retirement, he's written a memoir and a novel. He and his wife, Jenny Lind Nilsson, live in Minneapolis and New York.
