Product Description

"The bulk of these radio-monologues turned into chapters that have to do with the everyday moments of the Lake Wobegonians. By savoring these quotidian details, we are drawn into the depths of human joy and pain,"---Christian Century. Brimming with the deadpan, tongue-in-cheek humor that is Keillor's trademark. 192 pages, softcover. Augsburg.

Publisher's Description

▼▲

Based on Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon monologues, Life among the Lutherans is a collection of stories about the struggles of ordinary people in an imperfect world, the life and work of the pastor who leads them, and the church to whose high standards they aspire in the small town they call home.

The stories in Life among the Lutherans reflect everything Keillor fans have come to expect of this master storyteller. Some are familiar, including the quintessentially Lutheran "95 Theses" from Lake Wobegon Days, others are new. Laugh out loud about the church directory filled with photos that are just plain awful. Share the moment when Pastor Ingqvist receives a leather-bound copy of his sermons. Keillor's command of every little detail of life in Lake Wobegon is bound to entertain, surprise, and make readers - even those who aren't Lutheran - feel right at home in the mythical community where "all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average."
