About This Event
Garrison Keillor did ?A Prairie Home Companion? for forty years, wrote fiction and comedy, invented a town called Lake Wobegon where all the children are above average, even though he himself grew up evangelical in a small separatist flock where all the children expected the imminent end of the world. He?s busy in retirement, having written a memoir and a book of limericks and is at work on a musical and a Lake Wobegon screenplay, and he continues to do ?The Writers Almanac? sent out daily to Internet subscribers (free).?
