Elliott Bay Book Company presents: Garrison Keillor

GARRISON KEILLOR Monday, September 15 at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall Seattle

We are thoroughly delighted to welcome back one of this countrys geniuses of language, and the central place of stories and the occasional joke in everyday life, Garrison Keillor. In addition to hosting A Prairie Home Companion on an almost-weekly basis for thirty years and more now, and writing seventeen books, Garrison Keillor is also among the foremost author bookstore owners we have amongst us joining Louise Erdrich and Larry McMurtry, to name a few others. Owning a bookstore (St. Pauls Common Good Books) is not the reason for this evenings visit; Garrison Keillors new Lake Wobegon novel, Liberty (Viking) is the reason to be on hand for another entertaining evening, which may even have a moment of ribald humor and/or hinted-at political jesting in store for those attending. This tale has something to do with the Fourth of July parade, Lake Wobegons famous Living Flag, Clint Bunsen, and Miss Liberty. Last years evening for Pontoon is a wonder; this evening should be no less. Please join us. Tickets are $5 and available at Elliott Bay or via Brown Paper Tickets (www.brownpapertickets.com). Town Hall Seattle is located at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). For more information on this evening, please call Elliott Bay at 206.624.6600 or see www.elliottbaybook.com.
