Wobegon Boy by Garrison Keillor

Wobegon Boy by Garrison Keillor

John Tollefson, a son of Lake Wobegon, has moved East to manage a radio station at a college for academically challenged children of financially gifted parents in upstate New York. Having achieved this pleasant perch, John has a brilliant idea for a restaurant specializing in fresh sweet corn. And he falls in love with an historian named Alida Freeman, hard at work on a book about a nineteenth-century Norwegian naturopath, an acquaintance of Lincoln, Thoreau, Whitman, and Susan B. Anthony.

Garrison Keillor is the host of Public Radio International's A Prairie Home Companion and the author of many novels. He coauthored The Sandy Bottom Orchestra, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, with his wife Jenny Lind Nilsson, and wrote two picture books for younger readers. His adult titles include Lake Wobegon Days, Leaving Home, and The Book of Guys. He lives in Minnesota with his family.
