Description
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.

About the Author
Reviews
"Wonderfully over-the-top. Blisteringly funny, acute and true. Keillor's speaking to us with encouragement and empathy about the American life. But at the same time, he's got our number that way he's always had it. This book is a tonic." -Richard Ford
"You can't go home again unless you're Garrison Keillor and home is Lake Wobegon. Then, of course, it is imperative that you do so-and we are fortunate indeed to tag along and share in the final chapter of the most fascinating and compelling characters ever conjured from the most vivid imagination of America's greatest storyteller!
In Boom Town, we are invited to catch up as Garrison gets caught up with all of those beautifully flawed human beings that populate and promulgate their mythical town where all the women are finally accounted for, all the men are self-realized or died trying, and all the children are still way above average." -Martin Sheen
