Industry Reviews
"...[A]n endearingly acerbic collection....The most substantial tales aren't really about manhood at all, but about the arbitrariness and absurdity of modern success, especially in show business. In 'The Chuck Show of Television' and 'Al Denny'--at once the most autobiographically revealing stories and the most wildly imaginative ones--Mr. Keillor is at his subversive best."
New York Times Book Review - Lisa Zeidner (12/12/1993)
Keillor puts on the mantle of guyness, with its repeating pattern of male bonding and rugged manly embraces, and camps around in it. He moves easily into the idiom appropriate to each hero then throws in anachronisms and idiosyncrasies. He'll change style mid-sentence if the mood takes him, but without ever losing control of the writing. It is the best thing he has done since 'Lake Wobegon Days'; maybe even better...."
New Statesman - Susan Jeffreys (01/17/1994)
"Marvelous stuff from the funniest American writer still open for business."
Grafton
