Boom Town

A Lake Wobegon Novel

By: Garrison Keillor

Narrated by: Garrison Keillor

Return to America’s most beloved fictional hometown! Lake Wobegon is having a boom year thanks to millennial entrepreneurship—AuntMildred’s.com 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.

Audible needs to update.

The books has 17 chapters only. When Garrison reads he actually skips some paragraphs. I do really like listening to his voice.

True nostalgia!

Loved the trip back to a wonderful place & time and the opportunity to engage with old friends!

Love Garrison

Garrison Keillor is a storyteller like no other. Makes me want to go to his imaginary town

first book for me

it was good, I enjoyed it, thank you. I am not sure what more to say

Exceptional

A very welcome addition to the story of Lake Woebegon. Full of bits and pieces of information avid readers have only guessed and dreamed about. The narration is like listening to an old friend talk on the phone, you just don't want to interrupt. Thank you Mr. Keillor.
