Happy to Be Here
reviewed on + 711 more book reviews


Keilor appears never to invent or imagine a story, but rather to dredge it up from the depths of a collective memory...for all his gravity and his devotion to accurate expression, Keillor writes hilarious stories. His humor is cerebral and complex, a blend of romance and nostalgia; it sparkingly parodies the American (and human) condition...His stories and satires glow with a sense of time and place.
