{"product_id":"lake-wobegon-summer-1957","title":"Lake Wobegon Summer 1956","description":"Meet fourteen-year-old Gary. A self-described \"tree-toad,\"a sly and endearing geek, Gary has many unwieldy passions, chief among them his cousin Kate, his Underwood typewriter and the soft-porn masterpiece, High School Orgies. The folks of Lake Wobegon don't have much patience for a kid's ungodly obsessions, and so Gary manages to filter the hormonal earthquake that is puberty and his hopeless devotion to glamorous, rebellious Kate through his fantastic yarns. With every marvellous story he moves a few steps closer to becoming a writer. And when Kate gets herself into trouble with the local baseball star, Gary also experiences the first pangs of a broken heart.\nWith his trademark gift for treading \"a line delicate as a cobweb between satire and sentiment\"(Cleveland Plain Dealer), Garrison Keillor brilliantly captures a newly minted post-war America and delivers an unforgettable comedy about a writer coming of age in the rural Midwest.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0142000930\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 56JPTK001A8H_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Garrison Keillor\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Readable copy.
