"To me, Wigfield is a deeply funny, refreshingly original book, but to be fair, it is the first book I've ever read." -- Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
Wigfield is a town in danger. Built directly in front of a massive dam, this bucolic hideaway will soon be flooded when the dam is torn down by the state government to restore the salmon run. Wigfield's only hope lies in the self-righteous, self-aggrandizing, self-involved "journalist" Russell Hokes, who arrives hoping to capture the quiet dignity of the disappearing American Small Town. However, Wigfield is neither quiet nor dignified. And as the date of Wigfield's destruction draws nearer, Hokes casts about like a cork in a typhoon desperate to find something about Wigfield worth documenting-- or saving.
Will Russell Hokes save the town? Is Wigfield merely posing as a town in order to collect federal disaster relief? Won't you please buy this audio?
