Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The American male is in trouble, under siege, feeling foolish about his gender, and here to his rescue rides Garrison Keillor, with twenty hilarious stories about guys in crisis. In this brilliant new collection the tallest humorist of our time takes a knowing look at the sorrows and comforts of guyness. Review:"Keillor takes delicious swipes at the media, fad causes, political correctness and American tabloid culture as he convincingly sketches the precarious state of his fellow males, longing for the days when they could just be guys." Publishers Weekly Review:"Keillor is more talented at the Thurber business than anybody since. Quite good. You don't have to be a radio fan to enjoy." Kirkus Reviews Review:"[A]n endearingly acerbic collection....The most substantial tales aren't really about manhood at all, but about the arbitrariness and absurdity of modern success, especially in show business. In 'The Chuck Show of Television' and 'Al Denny' — at once the most autobiographically revealing stories and the most wildly imaginative ones — Mr. Keillor is at his subversive best." Lisa Zeidner, New York Times Book Review Review:"Marvelous stuff from the funniest American writer still open for business." Time Review:"Keillor puts on the mantle of guyness, with its repeating pattern of male bonding and rugged manly embraces, and camps around in it. He moves easily into the idiom appropriate to each hero then throws in anachronisms and idiosyncrasies. He'll change style mid-sentence if the mood takes him, but without ever losing control of the writing. It is the best thing he has done since Lake Wobegon Days; maybe even better...." Susan Jeffreys, New Statesman Synopsis:Now available in paperback, Garrison Keillor's The Book of Guys spent nine weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. The beloved author of five previous bestsellers, including Lake Wobegon Days delivers a hilarious collection of 22 stories about all kinds of guys.
