We Are Still Married: Stories and Letters (Paperback, Expanded)


“Garrison Keillor made it possible, after twenty years of black humor…to be both funny and nice, hip and winsome, scathing and loving, all in the flick of a single many-barbed quip — or as Thurber put it, in his famous cartoon, ‘Touche!’ His latest collection of stories, poems, and anomalies, We Are Still Married, shows Keillor away from Lake Wobegone, and as funny as ever, if not funnier.” — The Washington Post Book World

“Keillor’s literary style is as flexible and assured as his vocal delivery. It can slip from mood to mood so subtly and quickly you’re never quite sure where you are…. [His] writing has the silvery slip of running water, so graceful and easy it’s hard to believe it can carry so much that is jagged and unresolved. His integrity lies in his not smoothing away those rough edges in the swift current of his prose; they’re bruisingly, sometimes cuttingly there.” —The Village Voice
