Lake Wobegon Summer 1956
Garrison Keillor
Fourteen-year-old Gary and his rebellious cousin Kate live through one
amazing Lake Wobegon summer. Gary occupies himself with the spinning
of fantastic yarns about boogers, talking dogs, conversations
between God and Jesus, and especially melodramas featuring himself as hero
and the glamorous Kate as damsel. When the real Kate makes a terrible
mistake, he learns a lot about love and heartbreak and what it really
means to be a rebel against the Sanctified Brethren.
