Life These Days

This anthology of Keillor's monologues about his fictional hometown, Lake Wobegon, Minnesota, is recycled from tapes of the humorist's "Prairie Home Companion" public radio program. Fans of the show will find friendly, familiar ground here, as the humorist hasn't varied his schtick in decades. Those who have read but not heard Keillor will get a pleasant lesson in the raconteurship that has made him the most popular personality on the public airwaves. Y.R. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
