Synopsis

Clint Bunsen is one of the old reliables in Lake Wobegon. For six years he has run the Fourth of July parade, turning what was once a bunch of pickup trucks and girls pushing baby carriages with cats in them into an event of dazzling spectacle.

Let's put it this way: if I were married to Garrison Keillor, I'd be a wee trifle concerned by his sudden fascination with adultery. This one (like the last) is pretty well focused there. C'mon, Garrison: this isn't what we read your books for!......more

Goodreads review by John on January 02, 2009

Fine book in the Garrison tradition. Depressing in a healthy way, and very older guy-focused. It made me wonder how a young person and/or a woman would react to it.......more
