Description
|
|
|
|
Originally published in 1985, this is Garrison Keillor's introductory collection of stories from his fictional hometown Lake Wobegon, Minnesota, many of which were first heard as monologues on his radio program A Prairie Home Companion. Keillor, who has won Grammy and Peabody awards for his broadcasts and recordings, as well as the John Steinbeck Award and a National Humanities Medal, begins with a brief history of the town, followed by episodic accounts of some of its most characteristic residents, creating a wryly affectionate and humorous chronicle of life in the American Midwest. Elegant in its simplicity, this handsome Faber Library edition is printed on cream stock with generous margins and features a gold-stamped spine and colored endpapers with a matching dust jacket.
