Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Garrison Keillor is such a talented storyteller, and in a way, I sometimes think of him as the modern day Salinger. I breezed right through this book! He tells the story of a struggling writer who strikes success with his first novel and moves to New York, leaving his wife behind to pursue his dreams. However, once he gets there, he is hit hard with writer's block, cannot write, and from there on his life begins its downward spiral. Will he redeem himself? I especially recommend this book to writers or aspiring writers of fiction, and also to anyone who enjoys an "over the top" story.

n this charming departure from Lake Wobegon, bestselling author Garrison Keillor tells a hilarious and heartwarming tale of ambition, success and failure, and the virtues of real love. Aspiring writer Larry Wyler leads a quiet, decent life with his do-gooder wife, Iris, in St. Paul, Minnesota, but he wants more. When his literary debut becomes a hit, he departs for a Manhattan apartment, a job at the New Yorker, and three- martini lunches with the great editor, William Shawn. But when his second novel bombs and he finds himself in the grip of writer's block, Wyler discovers that success-and the New York publishing scene-is a fickle mistress, indeed. Creatively barren, nearly destitute, and longing for Iris, he accepts a job writing "Ask Mr. Blue," a column doling out advice to the lovelorn. It may not be glamorous work, but through it Wyler discovers what's really important and sets out to win back the woman he left behind.
