"Keillor's best stuff is clean (in the sense that lines are clean), down to earth, exquisitely good-hearted, highly ludicrous, and as labored as nitrous oxide.... This book will either leave you dumbfounded or happy--almost deservedly happy--to be anywhere" --The New York Times Book Review

"His humor is cerebral and complex, a blend of romance and nostalgia; it sparklingly parodies the American (and human) condition.... His stories and satires glow with a sense of time and place." --The Washington Post
