Editorial Reviews

Review

Grammy Award Nominee for Best Spoken Word of 1992. -- NARAS

In Stories Keillor reads his own short stories without an audience. Ranging from baseball to the perils of fame, the stories are humorous, serious and contemplative. As always, Keillor doesn't develop individual character voices, but rather illustrates their place within the community by his tone and inflection [brought to you by HighBridge Audio]. -- Audiofile, April 1994

Product Description

Includes Keillor's own favorite stories from his years as a contributor to The New Yorker and his bestselling books.

5.0 out of 5 stars First time listening-now a fan, August 29, 2005

By	C. Spencer (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I received this audiobook as a gift. And what a gift it was! I thouroughly enjoyed all of the stories, especially "Meeting Famous People" and "The Babe." These are all warm, witty stories, and Keillor's voice is wonderful to listen to. I am looking forward to hearing some of his other works.

3.0 out of 5 stars As mentioned, it is abridged and not live, May 25, 2001

By A Customer

Perhaps, and indeed probably, I am greatly spoiled by Keillor's stories. As a result, I don't like changes, such as the lack of a live audience which I think Keillor feeds off of. However, it must be said that there are stories here that only Garrison Keillor could possibly come up with and that is by no means nothing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not his best work, May 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Stories: A New Audio Collection (Audio Cassette)

Don't get me wrong; I would still rather listen to this than any other storyteller alive today, but there are plenty of things in my opinion that have come out of Keillor's brain that are vastly superior. Only if you have to have everything by this brilliant mind will you want this.
