Boom Town marks a return to the beloved fictional town of Lake Wobegon, where longtime storyteller Garrison Keillor—now in his late 70s—reflects on a hometown transformed by millennial entrepreneurs, changing traditions, and shifting values.

Keillor’s signature blend of gentle satire, emotional insight, and Minnesotan charm gives readers both laughter and melancholy. The town’s juxtaposition of Lutheran stoicism and modern narcissism sets the stage for slices-of-life that highlight both continuity and change. Whether you grew up in Lake Wobegon or are visiting for the first time, Boom Town offers an affectionate, nostalgic, and sometimes bittersweet farewell to a world that may be vanishing—but stands preserved in memory and story.
