Publisher Notes
A young narrator chronicles his coming-of-age in Minnesota's Lake Wobegon, a fictitious small town where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.
Media Reviews
"'Lake Wobegon Days' is about the way our beliefs, desires, and fears tail off into abstractions--and get renewed from time to time. Mr. Keillor is well quipped to understand this process, since, by his account, he grew up in the fundamentalist religion of the Sanctified Brethren, perfectionists at splitting into infinite subsects over points of doctrine....[This book] is a genuine work of American history."
First Line
The town of Lake Wobegon, Minnesota, lies on the shore against Adams Hill, looking east across the blue-green water to the dark woods.
