Lake Wobegon Days
- Great product!
â‚¬Å“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.â‚¬Â -The New York Times
â‚¬Å“A comic anatomy of what is small and ordinary and therefore potentially profound and universal in American lifeâ‚¬Â¦Keillorâ‚¬s strength as a writer is to make the ordinary extraordinary.â‚¬Â -Chicago Tribune
â‚¬Å“Keillorâ‚¬s laughs come dear, not cheap, emerging from shared virtue and good character, from reassuring us of our neighborliness and strengthâ‚¬Â¦.His true subject is how daily life is shot with grace. Keillor writes a prose that can be turned to laughter, to tearsâ‚¬Â¦to compassion or satire, to a hundred effects. He is a brilliant parodist.â‚¬Â -San Francisco Chronicle
