Description: WLT: A Radio Romance by Garrison Keillor (1991) Editorial Review Book Description In the spring of 1926, the Soderbjerg brothers, Ray and Roy, plunge into radio by founding Station WLT (With Lettuce and Tomato) in order to rescue their failing restaurant and become the Sandwich Kings of South Minneapolis. For the next 25 years, the "Friendly Neighbor" station produces a dazzling array of shows and stars: Dad Benson, Wingo Beals, Slim Graves and his Blue Movers, chain-smoking child star Little Becky, and household-tips maven Lucille Larson (who repeatedly broadcasts in her underwear). Brilliantly weaving together, the real lives and radio lives of his characters, Garrison Keillor has given us a comic, poignant, and slightly steamy novel, full of romance, intrigue, tough business, and loose living. Review Very entertaining & very true!!! Being active in the world of radio broadcasting myself I was especially curious about this book. I love mister Keillors writings and this book is no exception. Sometime hilarious situations that are in different ways al too accurate about how things work in the radio biz. And I think it more or less offers a good description of how 'radio' came to be what it is today. If you like mister Keillors other books you will like this one also, no doubt about that. I can only hope he will write for many more years to come. The book is in a good used condition. Please be serious about your bids. Checkout must be completed within 7 days of the close of auction.
