brilliant and beloved storyteller.

In Stories
Keillor reads his own short stories without an audience. Ranging from
baseball to the perils of fame, the stories are humorous, serious and
contemplative. As always, Keillor doesn't develop individual character
voices, but rather illustrates their place within the community by his
tone and inflection [brought to you by HighBridge Audio]. -- Audiofile, April 1994
