“The humor in this parody lies in the simple truth that even a zombie bear with a hatchet in its head won’t faze a Minnesotan…As in Garrison Keillor’s writing, dry humor leads to moments of real feeling and pathos.”

Harrison Geillor was born in a small three-room farmhouse in central Minnesota sometime in the middle of the twentieth century. He attended one of Minnesota’s prestigious institutions of higher learning, where he obtained a degree in English. Like English majors everywhere, he wanted on to work in a variety of jobs that had nothing to do with books or literature. At some point in his life he decided that the best way to appreciate Minnesota was to appreciate it from afar. He splits his time between Santa Cruz and San Francisco, only returning to Minnesota for smelt fishing, and the occasional family reunion.
