That’s better!
For once journalistic references to Jane Austen do not cause us to experience a stabbing pain directly above our left eye! It is quite refreshing.
A review of the film A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION has a reference that is downright elegant.
For the nearly 30 years of his variety show, A Prairie Home Companion, Keillor’s specialty has been the satirical monologue, the satire so gentle and the voice so honeyed that it’s often hard to remember that anything is being mocked at all. (Think of Jane Austen reborn as a Minnesota preacher and you have the general idea.)
Perfect! Dorothy, you may put away the Tullamore Dew for tonight, we think.
