Garrieson Keillor's "Ten Stories for Mr. Brautigan and Other Stories"

Garrison Keillor, humorist, author, and host of A Prairie Home Companion, published ten vignettes in the style of Richard Brautigan in the New Yorker, March 18, 1972.  The stories may be accessed at Ten Stories for Mr. Brautigan and Other Stories or at the original New Yorker weekly edition at The New Yorker, March 18, 1972.

Keillor wrote the stories as brief vignettes, demonstrating both the compression of Brautigan's short stories as well as their depiction of everyday people, scenes, and events.  The stories are about Keillor, Brautigan, and random observations.

Keillor is the author of many novels, including Lake Wobegon Days, Leaving Home, We Are Still Married, Wobegon Boy, and Happy to Be Here.  Most of his fiction centers on the imaginary town of Lake Wobegon, Minnesota.
