Love Me - Softcover

‘The funniest American writer still open for business.' --Time

Meet Larry Wyler, a man with a big heart, broad shoulders and some very odd baggage. After the runaway success of his début novel, Spacious Skies, Larry decides to leave small town life and his wife Iris behind, as he moves to Manhattan. But his marriage is falling apart and, after his second novel, Amber Waves of Grain, dramatically flops, he's struck down with a bad case of writer's block. Cue his new incarnation as the newspaper columnist 'Mr Blue', agony uncle to the lonely and frustrated. It may not be great literature, but perhaps the simple act of writing once again will help get Larry back on track, and possibly even back into his marital bed. 'A little sad but funny too, all told in a witty, clever, modest voice . . . Garrison Keillor's rumbling, soporific voice is an institution in America. Love Me should not disappoint.' Sunday Times 'Hilariously moving . . . Along the way, Keillor imports some devastating truths.' Spectator
