Garrison Keillor to Open Bookstore in St. Paul

By way of Bookshelves of Doom, I see that Garrison Keillor plans to open a bookstore in St. Paul, Minnesota, on November 1. Keillor is quoted saying, “I am fond of independent bookstores, like to walk into them and sit and read in them, and it’s time I make some contribution to my neighborhood.”

Lars, you’ll have to check it out and give them trouble.

  1. I wouldn’t go near the place. I’m afraid of Garrison Keillor. He’s very tall and only marginally sane.

    But I’m glad to hear he’s found a rathole to pour his surplus money into.

  2. I thought marginal sanity was a writerly thing. It’s like using a Mac–ethereal, slipping toward a free fall into feeling and self-expression.

    A visit to his store could be interest. Susan Sarandon might be there, or better yet, Carl Castle.

  3. Carl Kasell of NPR. “This is Carl Kasell with today’s news with a Leftward skew.”

    Carl’s the best. The stuff he says with a straight face, man!

  4. Lars Walker v. Garrison Keillor in live steel combat? I’d pay money to see that. Keillor may only be marginally sane, but I don’t think he’s got what it takes to go berserk. Not genuinely berserk, anyway; that takes more than bile and spit. My money is on Lars with shield, helmet, brynje and sword over Gary with a bearskin and sword.

  5. Well Lars, I’d never heard of you before, but after your postings here you have a new fan.
