Keillor's monologues, presented here as short stories, remind me of the small town I grew up in. They are about a place and time that was not better than now, and not necessarily worse, but memorable. ( )
Perhaps if I had read this book 30 years ago, or if I knew anything about small town America I may have enjoyed it more. It is well written, though not particularly well proof read in the version I read. The format wasn't brilliant, but then book publishing has moved on. ( )
