Synopsis
In Garrison Keillor's comic novel, Larry Wyler is living in St. Paul with his wife, Iris, but he longs for the bright lights of the big city--New York. When his first novel hits it big, he's offered a job at the New Yorker magazine, and off he goes. But the New Yorker is not what he thought it was: the magazine Keillor has created is an amalgam of fact and fancy dominated by the Mafia, and Larry doesn't exactly thrive there. Then he starts writing an advice column similar to the one real-life Keillor wrote for Salon magazine. Keillor draws on this and other autobiographical experiences to produce a timely satire of the literary world. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.

Industry Reviews
"To love LOVE ME, it probably helps to be a writer and also half Norwegian....Keillor's forte, though, is hitting those wry, eyebrow-arching notes that ring true no matter who you are or where you're from....Sharp humor doesn't always have a heart, yet for all its sly satire and deadpan zingers, LOVE ME is surprisingly touching."
