The Old Man Who Loved Cheese
Garrison Keillor, Anne Wilsdorf (Illustrator) / Unknown Binding / Published October 1999
Price: $13.35 Back Ordered
There was an old man named Wallace P. Flynn / Who lived in a house in the trees-- / You could smell him for several miles downwind / Because of his fondness for cheese. So begins silver-tongued storyteller Garrison Keillor's comical rhyming story The Old Man Who Loved Cheese. Mr. Flynn doesn't like mild cheese--he likes the stinkiest cheese available: Some men want fame and their name on marquees. / Some men love money. I choose cheese, he proclaims to his frankly fed-up family. They scatter like leaves, and with his family gone, Mr. Flynn's life deteriorates as he spen...

It's been 25 years since Garrison Keillor first began charming audiences with the goings-on of the strong women, good-looking men, and above-average children in his mythical Minnesota town. Keiller's storytelling alchemy (part literary orchestra, part gossip), gentle humor, and deadpan (or is that just Midwestern?) delivery are what have made Prairie Home Companion a stalwart of public radio. This collection commemorates the quarter century of the program's continuing success with 15 monologues (7 of which have not previously been available) and 33 of the most (in)famous songs and jingles, inc...

Garrison Keillor(Narrator), Tim Russell (Narrator) / Audio Cassette / Published March 1999
Price: $16.11 - Savings of: $2.84 (15%) - Ships in 24 hours
Jesse "The Body" Ventura's repetitious, self aggrandizing, platitude ridden paean to himself is such unconscious self parody that it renders Garrison Keillor's satire redundant. But whereas the former pro wrestler turned Minnesota governor is dull, Minnesota's radio minstrel and bestselling humorist is fun. Whereas Ventura reads in a monotonous growl, Keillor recites in his familiar gentle and expressive manner. Whereas the former writes in clunky phrases that mimic demagogic speechifying, the latter composes with singular grace, even by his own standards. One needn't hear Bleed to appreciate ...

"Each of these twenty stories surprised and delighted me. Each is a story I'd gladly read out loud to anyone who wanted to be read to," writes guest editor Garrison Keillor in his introduction to The Best American Short Stories 1998. We should be so lucky! Read out loud or not, this is still one of the liveliest, most varied volumes in this venerable series. One pleasant surprise is that it isn't as New Yorker-centric as it has been in years past.
