Keillor, Garrison: - Garrison Keillor wrote Boom Town during the pandemic lockdown in New York, reading drafts of it to his wife, Jenny, sitting across the room.
His twice-weekly columns appear on Substack (garrisonkeillor.substack.com)..
Keillor says, For many people, the key to success is discipline and education, but for me, it was ineptitude with power tools.
He did parts of the book in monologues for audiences in Boston, New York, Washington, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Virginia, along with the story of how, in the eighth grade, his shop teacher Orville Buehler, worried about the boy\'s carelessness with the power saw, sent him up to LaVona Person\'s speech class, thus changing his life.
