Synopsis: In this thoughtful, deeply personal work, one of the nation?s best-loved voices takes the plunge into politics and comes up with a book that has had all of America talking. Here, with great heart, supple wit, and a dash of anger, Garrison Keillor describes the simple democratic values?the Golden Rule, the obligation to defend the weak against the powerful, and others?that define his hard-working Midwestern neighbors and that today?s Republicans seem determined to subvert. A reminiscence, a political tract, and a humorous meditation, Homegrown Democratis an entertaining, refreshing addition to today?s rancorous political debate. * A New York Timesbestseller * Updated and revised with a new introduction for the 2006 midterm elections * A Featured Alternate Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club
