Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon Virus was published in September, 2020. This novel is a retelling of the stories about the characters who live in this fictional town. The virus in the title is different from the coronavirus. This virus is from eating the unpasteurized cheese made by a bachelor Norwegian farmer out of dairy and reindeer milk. The main symptom of the virus is a temporary and complete candor. People suddenly speak their true thoughts which leads to hard feelings and resentments. This book was a little darker and sadder than the other Keillor books I have read.I do appreciate his ability to poke fun at himself.
