Lake Wobegon Summer, 1956

by Garrison Keillor

ISBN: 9780571210244

Published: 2002

Lake Wobegon (Minn. : Imaginary place)

A hilarious coming-of-age novel, 'Lake Wobegon summer 1956' serves up the world according to 14-year-old Gary, an endearing geek, a self-described 'tree-toad', and a writer in the making whose best friend is his Underwood typewriter. The author tells us a story that both satirises and celebrates the traumas and the passions of adolescence. Keillor takes us back to a newly-minted America. With its post-war optimism and Cold War suspicions of outsiders, the 1950s are evoked in unforgettable Wobegon fashion.
