A Garrison Keillor Show Companion

A leisurely Q&A ahead of tonight's South Carolina performance.

Ahead of a performance tonight at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center, 71-year-old public radio dean Garrison Keillor chatted with City Paper arts editor Elizabeth Pandolfi.

Keillor describes his Upper West Side apartment as his reverse version of a “lake cabin.” He also recalls the critical boost he got from a New York publication:

“Getting published in The New Yorker back in 1969 was a huge influence on my career. The New Yorker was idolized in the Midwest and, having been published there, I got enormous credit in public radio and was given more license than I deserved.”
