Lake Wobegon is in a frenzy of preparations for the Fourth of July. The town is dizzy with anticipation - until they hear of Clint's ambition to run for Congress. They know about his episodes with vodka sours, his rocky marriage, and his friendship with the 24-year-old who dresses up as the Statue of Liberty for the parade and may be buck naked beneath her robes. In Keillor's words, "It is Lake Wobegon as you imagined it - good loving people who drive each other crazy."

Garrison Keillor's latest book is about the wedding of a girl named Dede Ingebretson, who comes home from California with a guy named Brent. Dede has made a fortune in veterinary aromatherapy; Brent bears a strong resemblance to a man wanted for extortion who's pictured on a poster in the town's post office. Then there's the memorial service for Dede's aunt Evelyn, who led a footloose and adventurous life after the death of her husband 17 years previously.

Editorial Reviews

Garrison Keillor needs hardly any introduction. This Grammy and Peabody winner is the creator, host, and writer of A Prairie Home Companion and The Writer's Almanac and has also authored more than 15 books. In this conversation with Roger Rosenblatt, award-winning writer and long-time columnist for Time magazine, Keillor has the audience eating out of his hand as he discusses his novel Pontoon: A Novel of Lake Wobegon. Keillor takes the lead with his understated and folksy baritone, trading witticisms with Rosenblatt, and answering questions with self-deprecating and gentle irony.
