As an author, humorist, and host of public radio's A Prairie Home Companion, Keillor will bring his storytelling genius to Point Loma Nazarene University on February 14 at 7 p.m. His tales from Lake Wobegon focus on characters we all swear we grew up with. Compared to Mark Twain for his humor and biting social commentary, Keillor has written several novels about his fictional Minnesota town and edits volumes of poetry. His work has also appeared in The New Yorker and The Atlantic. pointloma.edu/keillor
