A Grammy and Peabody winner, Garrison Keillor is the author of more than 15 books and is the creator, host and writer of A Prairie Home Companion and The Writer’s Almanac, heard on public radio stations across the country. This past April, Keillor sat down with Roger Rosenblatt, also an award-winning writer and host of the Afternoon Night Table Series at the Y, to discuss his latest novel, Pontoon: A Novel of Lake Wobegon. In the video clip above, Keillor reads from the book and ruminates on insomniacs.
Subscriptions for the 2008-09 Afternoon Night Table Series—featuring Cynthia Ozick, Walter Mosley, Ann Beattie, E.L. Doctorow and Richard Wilbur—are now on sale.
