Fiction
Stories, essays, poems, and personal reminiscences from
the sage of Lake Wobegon
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.”
Keillor is the
founder and host of A Prairie Home Companion,
celebrating its fortieth anniversary in 2014. He is the
author of nineteen books of fiction and humor, the editor of
the Good Poems collections, and a member of the
American Academy of Arts and Letters.
