Pilgrims by Garrison Keillor
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 Caf . 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.Garrion Keillor is an author, storyteller, humorist, and host of A Prairie Home Companion and The Writer's Almanac, all of which can be heard on public radio stations around the country. He was born in Anoka, Minnesota, and raised in a Plymouth Brethren home. Keillor is the author of more than a dozen books, including Lake Wobegon Days, The Book of Boys, Love Me, and Homegrown Democrat, as well as numerous magazine essays.
