Description
In this collection of stories you'll meet a bunch of memorable guys including Lonesome Shorty, a cowpoke torn between the proud life in the saddle and the comforts of warm apartments and women; Buddy the teen-age leper in Sioux Falls; Earl Grey the great tea inventor and former Republican child; Casey at the bat in Mudville again; Dionysus the god of wine; and Roy Bradley, boy broadcaster. Brilliantly funny, touching, and acute, The Book of Guys reveals the perilous situation of guys today.
Includes: Mid-life Crisis of Dionysus, Herb Johnson, the God of Canton, Casey at the Bat (Road game version), Lonesome Shorty, Don Gionvanni, Marooned, Buddy the Leper, The Country Mouse and the City Mouse.
With his inimitable style and recognizable voice, this is one author who really should read aloud his own work. These eight stories from Keillor's latest book of country tales range from comic to satiric, from poetry to tragedy. "Casey at the Bat (Road Game Version)" stands out. Each side contains two stories which is helpful for locating a story, but the cassettes are of uneven length. Although an unabridged version might have been better, for many a little of Garrison Keillor goes a long way. For Keillor fans, this production adds another to his numerous recorded titles. E.F.
