Additional book conditions: Synopsis: "Garrison Keillor made it possible, after twenty years of black humor'to be both funny and nice, hip and winsome, scathing and loving, all in the flick of a single many-barbed quip-- The Washington Post Book World "Keillor's literary style is as flexible and assured as his vocal delivery. It can slip from mood to mood so subtly and quickly you're never quite sure where you are'. [His] writing has the silvery slip of running water, so graceful and easy it's hard to believe it can carry so much that is jagged and unresolved. His integrity lies in his not smoothing away those rough edges in the swift current of his prose; they're bruisingly, sometimes cuttingly there." - The Village Voice"Garrison Keillor made it possible, after twenty years of black humorto be both funny and nice, hip and winsome, scathing and loving, all in the flick of a single many-barbed quip-- The Washington Post Book World "Keillor's literary style is as flexible and assured as his vocal delivery.
