Synopsis
The quaint Minnesota town of Lake Wobegon may not exist, but it continues to expand all the time. Garrison Keillor, the famously laconic host of National Public Radio's A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION, spins another yarn about the simple life of Midwestern folk in PONTOON, his whimsical and deadpan comedic novel and the latest addition to Lake Wobegon lore. Octogenarian Evelyn Peterson seemed to be an upstanding member of the community: good, modest, and religious. Only after her death does her daughter, Barbara, discover that Evelyn lived a double life, flying off to Vegas with her lover, Raoul, to dance and carouse. To the scandal of the community, Evelyn's last wish was to be cremated, placed inside a bowling ball, and spread over Lake Wobegon from a pontoon boat, and Barbara is determined to carry out the crazy plan as a way to honor the side of her mother she never knew existed. Meanwhile, a pontoon boat plays a pivotal role in the life of an erstwhile inhabitant of Lake Wobegon, Debbie Detmer, a Los Angeles millionaire returning to her home town in hopes of holding an ostentatious pontoon boat wedding on the lake. Lake Wobegon may be a simple little town, but the situations its citizens get involved in are incredibly complex--and wonderfully funny.

Industry Reviews
"Only the most skillful literary hands should attempt the combination of flat-out farce and genuine emotion; [Garrison] Keillor, like Larry McMurtry in TERMS OF ENDEARMENT is up to the job....With all their familiar elements, Keillor's Lake Wobegon books have become a set of synoptic gospels, full of wistfulness and futility yet somehow spangled with hope."
