Author and national radio personality Garrison Keillor reads from his new Lake Wobegon novel, PONTOON.
Evelyn was a Sanctified Brethren woman of good standing, a devoted mother, a serious quilter. Only after she dies in her sleep, as she always wished she would, do we find out that she has been living a secret life. Garrison Keillor's latest Lake Wobegon novel is about courage and transformation in a town stuck in its ways.
Keillor is the host and writer of the public radio program, A Prairie Home Companion, now in its 30th year. He is the author of 16 books, most recently the New York Times bestseller Homegrown Democrat.
