Behold, a unique and long-awaited look at America?s ?everyman philosopher.?

Garrison Keillor: The Man on the Radio in the Red Shoes takes us behind-the-scenes of Keillor?s traveling career as a humorist and commentator, while offering an unusual portrait of the private man who has entered the homes and hearts of millions via America?s most popular radio variety show, ?A Prairie Home Companion.?

A delightful cross between Will Rogers and Mark Twain, Keillor has managed to spin pure comedic genius from interweaved song and story, while transforming the fictional place of Lake Wobegon into a reality for generations.
