| | | A hilarious illustrated satire of a Lake Wobegon gone hideously wrong and the earnest reporter who hopes to save it from extinction. Wigfield is a town in danger, and its only hope lies in the self-righteous "journalist Russell Hokes, who arrives hoping to capture the quiet dignity of the disappearing American Small Town.
Annotation:
Three humorists (and a designer who does the photographs) team up to produce a comic novel about the town of Wigfield, which is about to be flooded by the government in order to protect the local salmon population. As a P.R. move, the town hires a journalist to tell their story, and the book consists of his interviews with the residents.

"The book is one of those rare works of satire that combine creative form, uproariously funny text and a painfully sharp underpinning of social criticism." 04/28/2003 |
