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 Highlights Easy to enjoy: 337 pages · Paperback By Keillor, Garrison Details ISBN: 9780571146338 Author: Keillor, Garrison Format: Paperback Pages: 337 Language: English Publication date: 9 February 1987 Condition: Used – Like New About the authors Keillor, Garrison and Garrison Keillor More about this book Reviews Garrison Keillor reads his own account of life in small-town America.
