Negative Positive
Title: A Prairie Home Reference Manual
Review: This is the book that seemed to spark so much interest in the public radio show and the strange cast of charaters in and around Lake Wobegon. It stands some years later as something of a landmark in literary humor. There are few who can craft a story this funny and yet of this high a literary quality. True, the story in the book hops from place to place and seems disjointed at times, but I believe this is intentional. A stright narrative with a central plot would not quite relay the quirkiness of the characters. As it is, the format seems perfect.
