	Lake Wobegon-2
		Lake Wobegon is the fictional place created by Garrison Keillor during his public radio broadcasts on "A Prairie Home Companion." Keillor's humorous stories have become immensely popular with millions of fans who love to read and hear about the small town in Minnesota where he supposedly grew up.
		Besides the dissimilarities of its geographical placement, Lake Wobegon is devoid of the intense battles seen in the Bunker household.
		The people in Lake Wobegon cling to the values of their ancestors, old-fashioned values that are familiar to Keillor's audiences because they are part of their own roots.

	Lake Wobegon-1
		News from Lake Wobegon is trivial; there is no serious crime or racial conflict, but the eternal intergenerational adolescent/adult power struggle is a dominant theme.
		Lake Wobegon is home to the familiar Chatterbox Cafe, Jack's Auto Repair, Sidetrack Tap, Art's Baits, and its own memorable landmark, the Statue of the Unknown Norwegian.
		In Lake Wobegon, Keillor shows the markedly different reality of the adults and the children, where adults have all the power over the children, and he gives the children's perspective of their powerlessness with satirical humor.

	Saturday Evening Post: Lake Woebegon: the little town that time forgot; where women are strong, the men good-looking, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Lake Wobegon is, as that excerpt underscores, not a Shangri-La. Its populace, largely Norwegian Lutherans (led by Pastor Ingqvist of Lake Wobegon Lutheran Church) and German Catholics (tended by Father Emil of Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility Church), are of hearty, seemingly serious stock.
		At times, Keillor's Lake Wobegon resembles the Russian village of Chelm--the setting of Fiddler on the roof--where fools, peddlers, and rabbis continued the eternal debate over the nature of God while their wives complained, their children played, and their roofs leaked.
		Lake Wobegons--similarly isolated, similarly filled with faith--surmount the difficulties (often hilariously self-created) of their lives through an awkward, endearing loyalty to the values of their ancestors: honesty, industry, church.

	Sola Gratia in Lake Wobegon
		Garrison Keillor, whose news from the fictional town of Lake Wobegon will come to an end on June 13 after more than a dozen years on Public Radio, frequently can be as funny as any humorist you could name.
		You might, for example, be reading Keillor’s book Lake Wobegon Days (Viking Penguin, 1985) to your wife in the car, and suddenly find that you can’t get a passage’s funniest phrases out of your mouth.
		Especially effective, however, is the way that Keillor, without ceasing to be a humorist, gets inside the mind of a worshiper, exaggerating, tossing off choice phrases, exposing the wandering mind and the human frailty, but still not mocking, not observing from outside, not repudiating.

		Leaving Home is essentially a collection of transcripts of the popular News From Lake Wobegon segment that is the highlight of A Prairie Home Companion, Garrison Keillor's live weekly radio show.
		For new readers of Keillor, it's an excellent introduction into the colorfully ordinary world of Lake Wobegon, Minnesota, the fictional town that Keillor has made into a functional microcosm of the small-town heartland culture that too much of American society often views as inferior.
		What he has done with the Lake Wobegon books and stories, and with his radio show, is create a fully realized fictional world populated with flesh and blood people.

		This cliché was at its height in the 1940s and 1950s in films such as King's Row and Peyton Place, and is still to be found even today; Mr Keillor's home state of Minnesota was recently the target of some particularly crude and ill-natured satire in the film Drop Dead Gorgeous.
		It is certainly not a conventional novel, but rather consists of a spoof history of his fictional town, followed by a lengthy series of anecdotes and personal reminiscences set in and around it, organised either by theme or by the time of year when they take place.
		The author's intention seems to have been to give a realistic but humorous view of small-town life, avoiding the traps of portraying Lake Wobegon either as an earthly paradise or as a sink of depravity.

		Part town history, part family remembrance, Lake Wobegon is imbued with a warm, sly humor that picks at the silliness and the earnestness that are woven so tightly together in small town American life.
		Another twenty years have now passed and we've come to know the characters of Lake Wobegon intimately: the locally wealthy Krebsbach family, Pastor Ingqvist and Father Emil, Herman Hochstetter and the annual Living Flag, the Sons of Knute, and the rules for visiting on front porches.
