About this listen
Wobegon Boy is the story of John Tollefson, last seen in Lake Wobegon Days leaving home, now a 40-something Norwegian bachelor public-radio manager living in upstate New York.
Amidst his tribulations, his gloomily neurotic staff, his controlling boss, his bumpy relationship with his querulous father, his love affair with a Columbia University historian, John returns to Minnesota for a visit. There, sitting at the Sidetrack Tap and the Chatterbox Cafe, talking and listening to the people he has known his whole life, he discovers what is truly important to him.
©1997 Garrison Keillor (P)1997 HighBridge CompanyWhat the critics say
"Keillor, who has been honing his Lake Wobegon tales for a decade or two on public radio's 'Prairie Home Companion,' has his delivery, as well as his prose, down cold. After hearing him reading his own opus, one wonders how the bare words on the printed page could possibly possess anywhere near as much lyricism and nuance." (AudioFile)

Garrison Keillor is Brilliant, no takesy backsies!
Writing this, well after the various uproars some people found themselves in because they couldn’t laugh at themselves, etc.
Keillor is fantastic, empathetic, realistic, imaginative, and human. ‘Nuff said.
