Happy to Be Here av Garrison Keillor
amusing but not his best
Useful, but not necessary to have listened to a Lake Wobegon monologue, as the stories contained in this book are in the same vein, and could well do with being read aloud[return][return]Slow and sweet to read
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.
I think this is the third of these Garrison Keillor collections that I have read. The others were called "Good Poems" and "Good Poems for hard times". I must say that they are the best multi author poetry anthologies that I have, and I see about a dozen of them across the room. Keillor's selections are often relatively short, simple and direct, include many different modern poets, and are arranged well with both similarities and differences between consecutive entries apparent. Ultimately, I suppose, he just has good taste. If he has no plans to publish a new collection, I will start over again with the first one.… (mer)
