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.

Liberty
When I read Lake Wobegon Days years ago, I was delighted. The people were so real and the stories warm and funny. I got nearly as much enjoyment from Leaving Home, but nothing since then has resonated quite as much. And now he really must be getting tired, because his last two books have been disappointing in every way. Pontoon was a rehash of things he had written before, with nothing new to say. And Liberty has only new, unpleasant things to say. The characters are all the same ones we have met before, but with all the warmth and humanity drained from them. Keillor's humor, which, though it has always had a touch of the adolescent about it, is usually so enjoyable, is here all heavy irony and Benny Hill slapstick. Reread Lake Wobegon Days instead.
