Overview

Lake Wobegon goes to Italy in Garrison Keillor's latest

Twelve Wobegonians fly to Rome to decorate a war hero's grave, led by Marjorie Krebsbach, with radio host Gary Keillor along for the ride. The pilgrimage is inspired by a phone call from an Italian woman seeking her Lake Wobegon roots and by a memoir O Paradiso by a farm wife who found the secret of life and love in Italy. And by marjorie's longing to win back the love of her husband Carl. Far from home, sitting in the rain in the Piazza Navona, the pilgrims talks about themselves, as they never could do in the Chatterbox Café.

"You're not going to write about this, I hope," says Irene Bunsen. "Of course I am. I invented this town," says Mr. Keillor. "Oh my, aren't you something," she replies.

Editorial Reviews

Steve Amick
In Garrison Keillor's laugh-filled umpteenth novel…the Wobegonians travel abroad for the first time. And they negotiate the streets of Rome and their feelings the same way they do back home—by telling stories about other Wobegonians…Once the chuckles subside, [Keillor] leaves us with an engaging, moving look at the true, daily heroics: people struggling to go ahead and love those they've thrown in with, or—short of that—at least overcome the urge to give them a good choking.
—The Washington Post

    love

    While promoting his latest book Pilgrims, on the campus of Agnes Scott College on September 28, Garrison Keillor brought along he usual dry high brow wit.



    Keillor know for describing the antics of his beloved Lake Wobegone a fictional town in his native Minnesota began by sharing his recent near death stroke experience.



    In red slightly worn tennis shoes, red tie, and comfortable jeans, Keillor was running errands and went to find a nice fried taste of goodness. Then he suddenly felt something was wrong, his words did not come out and his mouth felt like numb. Driving himself to the hospital, he walked in and was diagnosed that he had a stroke.

    In the "living coffin experience", within the MRI he was told to sit still and then congratulated him as if lying still was a skill. This experience made him face death and realize that after dying the ride in the hearse to the cemetery is one's last car ride.



    Ending with an acappella version of "just can't help but falling in love", the audience joined as this master story teller brought the audience together in song.

    I Also Recommend:

    Typical high quality Keillor work.

    Nobody can tell a story like Garrison Keillor. If you have enjoyed his other books you will enjoy spending time with these Lake Wobegon citizens as they go world traveling.

    What would you do if you were frustrated, wanted out and then inherited a boat load of money to get you out?

    That's what happens in Pilgrims as well as the adventures of some not so savvy travelers from Lake Wobegon to Italy to find the grave of a local hero who died during WWII. Mr. Keillor travels with them, but these "pilgrims" aren't very impressed with his presence. It brings smiles from beginning to end.

    Derisive and yet warm

    It's Garrison Keillor, it's funny, it's derisive, and yet warm. I enjoyed it very much, especially the main character (Margie Krebsbach).
