We Are Still Married

Viac o knihe

Garrison Keillor's celebrated home town, Lake Wobegon, "where all the women are strong and all the men are good-looking", has now passed into legend. Here are tales of love lost and found, letters on marriage and fatherhood, together with reflections on cigarette smoking, baseball, the perils of nearsightedness, and how to write a letter if you're a shy person.
