Book Reviews of Liberty: A Novel of Lake Wobegon (Lake Wobegon Novels)

Book Review: Chock-Full Of Laughs And Insight
Summary: 5 Stars

Mr. Keillor has a knack for successfully merging a leisurely pace with absurd circumstances while also delving into the human condition. Behind these very funny events are the struggles of growing old. The main protagonist, Clint Bunsen, reflects upon his sixty-year-old life and regrets a ho-hum existence. A gentleman in crisis who tries to overcome his lamentations by various means; culminating in the Fourth-of-July extravaganza. The vignettes focus on people closer to their twilight years. The few younger people are superficial props for the older set. Even the 28-year-old, spacey, free-spirit siren, Angelica Pflame, isn't fleshed out. This is a great, lazy summer read to lift your spirits as well as make you think of what is important in life.

Summary of Liberty: A Novel of Lake Wobegon (Lake Wobegon Novels)

Just in time for the Fourth of July, a firecracker of a Lake Wobegon novel from bestselling author and radio storyteller Garrison Keillor

Published to wide and enthusiastic acclaim, Liberty is Garrison Keillor?s most ribald Lake Wobegon novel yet, set in a spectacular Fourth of July celebration amid marching bands and circus wagons drawn by teams of Percherons. The Chairman of the Fourth, Clint Bunsen, is in the midst of an identity crisis brought on by a DNA test just as he turns sixty, and he finds solace in the arms of Angelica Pflame, the young beauty who marched as Liberty in last year?s parade. Should he remain in Lake Wobegon with his stoical wife Irene or fly to California with Angelica? Liberty is Keillor at his knowing, deadpan, raconteur best.
