David Grenville, the scion of a wealthy and influential family with roots well-entrenched in the 'American experience," meets and falls in love with Anna Kraley, the daughter of Eastern European immigrants. But their love affair is doomed from the beginning.
David is the Catholic priest of the church that Anna's family attends. When Anna discovers that she is pregnant, David's family helps her flee to Chicago where she gives birth to her son, Mark. Upon returning to her parent's home, she hides Mark's true paternity from her family and friends.
Anna also shelters Mark from the truth of his birth, fabricating a father that never really existed. Yet a woman who once loved David seeks revenge and wants to expose Mark to the truth of his parentage. Can Mark survive the knowledge of his parents' illicit love affair?
Through a series of flashbacks and reminiscences, La Salle County contrasts the lives of David and Mark. As father and son review their lives, their stories reflect their coming of age during the turbulent times that marked the past century.

A Midwestern Corn Salad with Too Much Mayonnaise
April 10, 2006
Reviewer: A reader from Los Angeles
I picked up this book because of the beautiful wedding photograph on the cover. But somehow, I just dont buy two young men like those in the picture stripping down to their tighty whities and calling each other faggot (in 1916?). As a matter of fact, the word faggot weaves itself through this entire florid mish-mash like a red silk thread. Is Mr. Hoffman trying to tell us something?
The trouble with fictionalized autobiography is that it usually ends up being neither memorable fiction nor truthful biography. If Hoffman is indeed an illegitimate son sired by a Catholic priest in 1942, thats great! If he isnt, then why does he wish he were? I want to read THAT story.
On the third page of this Saga, one of the characters demonstrates Auto-Fellatio. It brings to mind Eddie Fishers supremely trashy auto-bio of several years ago. In that Saga, the actress Ann-Margaret drops to her knees and services Eddie
on page three! Talk about cutting to the chase. The final chapters of LaSalle County give us Ex-Lax in the chocolate chip cookies and a group of boys having a circle jerk. Where is Mel Brooks when you need him?
Everyone in La Salle County speaks in sanctimonious platitudes, and at times it sounds almost like Fiddler On The Roof : Farewell papa. God alone knows when we shall see each other again. (Cue the music.) Presented in an endless series of page-long paragraphs, the book must contain more adjectives than any other work in the English language.
LaSalle County: A Family Saga is an overblown exercise in ancestor worship peppered with some really lame gay porn.
Not Recommended.
