ISBN: 9780670063567 - pontoon: a lake wobegon novel (29 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The fictional Minnesota town of Lake Wobegon is real to millions of A Prairie Home Companion fans, who tune in each week for the latest news about its strong women and good-looking men. Like Sinclair Lewis s Gopher Prairie, it is part of literary legend. Four novels have been set among its quiet streets: Lake Wobegon Days, Wobegon Boy, Lake Wobegon Summer 1956, and now Pontoon. In the little town of Lake Wobegon, a wedding is planned down to the last detail, from the cheese and pate to the flying Elvis to the pontoon boat. Meanwhile, the surprising secret life of a recently deceased good Lutheran lady comes to light, her daughter meets a lover at the Romeo Motel, and a delegation of renegade Lutheran pastors from Denmark comes to town. That s just the beginning of the stories and characters that drift in on Pontoon. It s Lake Wobegon as you ve imagined it: a tightly knit community that sometimes draws you home and sometimes gives you wings to fly away.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Collectible-Very Good. A fresh and funny Lake Wobegon novel about a woman with a secret life In Lake Wobegon lives a good Lutheran lady who is quite prepared to die and wishes to be cremated and her ashes placed inside a bowling ball and dropped into the lake, no prayers, no hymns, thank you very much. Meanwhile, the Detmer girl returns from California where she has made a killing in veterinary aromatherapy to marry her boyfriend Brent aboard Wally's pontoon boat, presided over by her minister, Misty Naylor of the Sisterhood of the Sacred Spirit. Brent arrives on Thursday. On Saturday, a delegation of renegade Lutheran pastors from Denmark come to town on their tour of America, their punishment for having denied the divinity of Jesus. And Barbara Peterson, whose mother, Evelyn, left the startling note about cremation and the bowling ball, is in love with a lovely fat man who slips around town in the dim light and reconnoiters with her at the Romeo Motel. An the then there is Raoul of the cigars and tinted shades and rainbow sportscoat and his long phone message ('Hey, Precious') after the angel of death has already come and gone. All is in readiness for the wedding--the giant shrimp shish kebabs, the French champagne, the wheels of imported cheese, the pate with whole peppercorns, the hot-air balloon, the flying Elvis, the pontoon boat, and the giant duck decoys--and then something else happens. It is Lake Wobegon as you've imagined it--good loving people who drive each other slightly crazy.…
