Garrison Keillor

Sinopse

"...where the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average."  There's a reason all those children in Lake Wobegon are above average.  It might be the clean prairie air.  It might be the wholesome wheat that's grown by the Norwegian bachelor farmers.  And it just might be their strong, good-looking parents. 
Garrison Keillor's collection of "News from Lake Wobegon" monologues -
 all taken from live broadcasts of A Prairie Home Companion is  an extended meditation on the joys, sorrows, challenges, and humor of raising children.  The tales include "Ronnie and the Winnebago" about a young man, his rock-star girlfriend, and his long struggle to earn his father's understanding; "Love While You Dare" the story of August Johnson, who, after losing his brother in a gambler's prank in Copenhagen, flees to America rather than face his mother--who later comes to visit him in Lake Wobegon; and six more splendid, unforgettable accounts of how, in Keillor's words, "the meek shall inherit the earth, and when we have done all we can with our children, it's time to step back and let them inherit it."
