Boom Town: A Lake Wobegon Novel
(eAudiobook)
Description
Return to America's most beloved fictional hometown! Lake Wobegon is having a boom year thanks to millennial entrepreneurship-AuntMildred' Gourmet Meatloaf, for example, or Universal Fire, makers of artisanal firewood seasoned with sea salt. Meanwhile, the author flies in to give eulogies at the funerals of five classmates, including a couple whom he disliked, and he finds a wave of narcissism crashing on the rocks of Lutheran stoicism. He is restored by the humor and grace of his old girlfriend Arlene and a visit from his wife, Giselle, who arrives from New York for a big love scene in an old lake cabin. "Keillor's speaking to us with encouragement and empathy about the American life. But…he's got our number that way he's always had it."
