Book Reviews of Gospel Birds and Other Stories of Lake Wobegon

Book Review: The antidote to reality TV
Summary: 5 Stars

In a time when reality television programs are wildly popular, with their narcissistic, silly people who think fame will make them important, these stories are about life. As so many other reviewers have noted, Garrison Keillor's Lake Woebegone stories look at human nature with all of its frailties and hidden dreams and hilarity and moments of grace. He can make you laugh out loud and cry in one story. I've had this cd collection for about 13 years now, and I still don't get tired of it. All the stories are good, but Bruno the Fishing Dog remains one of my all-time favorites. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Summary of Gospel Birds and Other Stories of Lake Wobegon

Gospel Birds is a collection of nine classic and very funny monologues from the early years of A Prairie Home Companion. In addition to the title story (about Irma and Ernie Lundeen's traveling flock of acrobatic, bible-reciting birds), contents include:

  • Pastor Ingquist's Trip to Orlando
  • Mammoth Concert Tickets
  • Bruno, the Fishing Dog
  • Gospel Birds
  • Meeting Donny Hart at the Bus Stop
  • A Day at the Circus with Mazumbo
  • The Tollerud's Korean Baby
  • Sylvester Krueger's Desk
  • Babe Ruth visits Lake Wobegon

    Gospel Birds is Garrison Keillor at his very best—endearing insights, gentle humor and warm affection for the human foibles we all share.
