Garrison Keillor makes his long- awaited return to Lake Wobegon with this New York Times bestseller
“ Keillor has always been a great cataloger, equal parts Homer and Montgomery Ward, and rarely to better effect than in Pontoon.”The first new Lake Wobegon novel in seven years is a cause for celebration. And Pontoon is nothing less than a spectacular return to form—replete with a bowling ball-urn, a hot-air balloon, giant duck decoys, a flying Elvis, and, most importantly, Wally’s pontoon boat. As the wedding of the decade approaches (accompanied by wheels of imported cheese and giant shrimp shish kebabs), the good-loving people of Lake Wobegon do what they do best: drive each other slightly crazy. —Thomas Mallon, The New York Times Book Review “ Unaffectedly good-natured [and] entirely accessible.” —The Washington Post Book World “Full of Keillor’s hilarious invention.” —Los Angeles Times |
