Beschreibung

"Lake Wobegon Days is about the way our beliefs, desires and fears tail off into abstractions--and get renewed from time to time. . . this book, unfolding Mr. Keillor's full design, is a genuine work of American history." -The New York Times

"A comic anatomy of what is small and ordinary and therefore potentially profound and universal in American life…Keillor's strength as a writer is to make the ordinary extraordinary." -Chicago Tribune

"Keillor's laughs come dear, not cheap, emerging from shared virtue and good character, from reassuring us of our neighborliness and [...] true subject is how daily life is shot with grace. Keillor writes a prose that can be turned to laughter, to tears…to compassion or satire, to a hundred effects. He is a brilliant parodist." -San Francisco Chronicle

Über den Autor

American author, storyteller, humorist, and radio personality Garrison Keillor is best known as the creator of radio variety show "A Prairie Home Companion," which he hosted from 1974 to 2016, and which was adapted as a feature-length film starring Meryl Streep, Lindsay Lohan, and Woody Harrelson in 2006. During the 40+ year run of "A Prairie Home Companion," Keillor enthralled listeners with stories from his imaginary hometown of Lake Wobegon, which also served as the setting for many of his novels including Lake Wobgeon Days, Pontoon, and Boom Town. Keillor is also a champion of poetry; he has curated three collections of his favorite poems (Good Poems, Good Poems for Hard Times, and Good Poems, American Places) and published his own light verse. He also hosted a five-minute daily poetry & history program called The Writer' s Almanac for over 25 years.
