Meanwhile, a wedding between a veterinary aromatherapist and her boyfriend Brent is set to take place aboard a pontoon boat. Then a delegation of renegade Lutheran pastors from Denmark come to town on their tour of America - their punishment for having denied the divinity of Jesus. And then there is Raoul of the cigars and tinted shades, come to visit his elderly lover. All is in readiness for the wedding - the French champagne, the flying Elvis, the giant duck decoys - until something quite unexpected happens . . .

Review:
? Keillor has always been a great cataloger, equal parts Homer and Montgomery Ward, and rarely to better effect than in "Pontoon".? ?Thomas Mallon, "The New York Times Book Review" ? Unaffectedly good-natured [and] entirely accessible.? ?"The Washington Post Book World" ?Full of Keillor's hilarious invention.? ?"Los Angeles Times" --Los Angeles Times
