Lake Wobegon Days

Lake Wobegon Days

â€œLake 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€œA comic anatomy of what is small and ordinary and therefore potentially profound and universal in American lifeâ€¦Keillorâ€™s strength as a writer is to make the ordinary extraordinary.â€ Â—Chicago Tribune
â€œKeillorâ€™s laughs come dear, not cheap, emerging from shared virtue and good character, from reassuring us of our neighborliness and strengthâ€¦.His true subject is how daily life is shot with grace. Keillor writes a prose that can be turned to laughter, to tearsâ€¦to compassion or satire, to a hundred effects. He is a brilliant parodist.â€ Â—San Francisco Chronicle
