Synopsis
From the sage of Lake Wobegon, stories, essays, poems, and personal reminiscence When, at thirteen, he caught on as a sportswriter for the Anoka Herald, Garrison Keillor set out to become a professional writer, and so he has done—a storyteller, sometime comedian, essayist, newspaper columnist, screenwriter, poet. Now a single volume brings together the full range of his work: monologues from A Prairie Home Companion , stories from The New Yorker and The Atlantic , excerpts from novels, newspaper columns. With an extensive introduction and headnotes, photographs and memorabilia, The Keillor Reader also presents pieces never before published, including the essays “Cheerfulness” and “What We Have Learned So Far.”
