Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. a mid west radio station in the golden years of radio #116 I kept hearing how funny Keillor is? To whom? Funny is: Carl Hiaasen, Jennifer Crusie, Christopher Moore, Elmore Leonard, Janet Evanovich, et. al., not Keillor. This was awful & boring: Brothers Ray & Roy own a restaurant which they partially convert into a radio Station, WLT. Ray, although married, is a womanizer. Roy is mostly an inventor & farmer. The book revolves around WLT, its owners, those who work there, & the programs. 300+ pages of boring... Read during Fall 2003 I was rather dissapointed with this one. WLT features in a few of the previous stories I had read. This begins with the start of WLT (a radio station in Minneapolis) and eventually becomes the story of Francis With/Frank White. However, I was not amused by all the crude sexual references and the whole story just lost interest for me. I think this one will go into the BookCrossing pile. Listened to an audio version of this read by Garrison Keillor. I could listen to him for hours on end. His voice lent such a warm feel to the story, I'm not sure that a reading would do as well as the audio.The way that Keillor build his characters makes them a believable as if they were friends of your own.

Francis With, a shy young man from North Dakota, entranced by radio, gets into WLT through his uncle Art and quickly becomes the Soderbjerg's right hand. Soon Francis is a budding announcer adored by Lily Dale, the crippled nightingale of WLT kept hidden from her fans, whose firing contributes to the downfall of the station.
