WLT: A Radio Romance

by Garrison Keillor

WLT: A Radio Romance Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

Review:

"Episodic, often absurd, frequently uproarious, it is a poignant reminder of a time that never was but probably should have been." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"The comedy is as broad as it comes, but it also has a depth that includes poignancy, particularly as it records the station's downhill slide. Humor and insight into the heart of raunchy America don't get any better than this." Kirkus Reviews
