About This Item
US: PENGUIN PUTNAM * TRADE, 1992. Paperback. Good. The glory days of Midwest radio prove the ideal subject for old radio-hand Keillor, now writing at the height of his awesome power, which could make a homesick cat laugh. Brothers Ray and Roy Soderbjerg set up station WLT (Wi th Lettuce and Tomato) in Minneapolis in 1926 to draw crowds to their wilti ng sandwich restaurant. The station proves a gold mine after the two reluct antly agree to allow commercials, and the brothers turn their somewhat divi ded attention (Ray's chief vocation is sex, Roy's inventing the unnecessary ) to the new medium. The novel takes off on a sustained joyride as a hilari ous bunch of characters are hired to fill the air with the cornball, pseudo -pious, pseudo- populist fare that held the Midwest in thrall until televis ion offered a superior snow job.
