A Radio Romance by Garrison Keillor is a humorous and nostalgic novel that captures the golden age of radio. Set in the 1920s through the 1950s, the story follows the quirky rise and fall of station WLT (With Lettuce and Tomato) in Minneapolis. The eccentric cast of characters — from chain-smoking child stars to blind baseball announcers — brings the era’s charm and absurdity to life.
With Keillor’s signature wit and warmth, the novel offers a delightful exploration of the power of radio to entertain, connect, and transform lives. It’s a perfect pick for fans of historical fiction, comedy, and stories that celebrate the magic of old-time broadcasting.
