Post to Web

From the creator of "A Prairie Home Companion" and bestselling author of Lake Wobegon Days comes the trade paper edition of the hilariously bawdy novel that is "irresistibly delicious . . . a satisfying romp with a yarnmaster who can make you howl" (Los Angeles Times Book Review). In the spring of 1926, the Soderbjerg brothers plunge into broadcasting to rescue their failing restaurant and go on to make radio history over the next quarter century.

<b><i>Nation</i>:</b> "Formally, [this book] reaches considerably beyond any of Keillor's earlier successes, which all conveyed the bittersweet and, by turn, biting charm of his radio act. It is Keillor's first true novel, and a very good one....Garrison Keillor's mythical America, unlike the faded and inoffensive Midwest of Sandburg, is dreamed with an unblinking eye. His characters are idiosyncratic. They are culled from who knows where--from our collective past, certainly, but also from the demotic oral tradition of a rich and very real community that is gone and now exists only in recollection."

I learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live that life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

Publisher's Note

Studio B was the snakebite studio at WLT, the tomb of the radio mummy, and bad things happened to people who went in there.
