Wobegon Boy / Garrison Keillor 305 p.

John Tollefson tells of his years after leaving Lake Wobegon, Minn. behind when he graduated from college (in Lake Wobegon Days).  He shares his business acumen (not) when he and his girlfriend's brother open a restaurant.  His winning of radio's coveted Wally Award brings on a acceptance speech that falls short of what he wanted to accomplish. His comments on public radio may show the author's behind the scenes passion.  What I like is how me makes the characters so real.  You can see his father.  He presents flawed characters that you feel for and can laugh with.
