Home from the Vinyl Cafe, A Year of Stories, by Stuart McLean - Book Review #325

 Stuart McLean left this world far too soon.

 In his wake he left this country better off.  Confirming for us that   love, understanding, and good humour are the foundations that   will see us through. 

 The Dave and Morley stories are the warm centre of his writing and   the travelling variety shows he toured around Canada. 

 This collection follows his beloved characters through the four   seasons and launches with McLean's best known story, Dave Cooks   the Turkey

 Do yourself a favour and track down the live recordings of his Vinyl   Cafe shows.  Hearing the author tell his stories to an audience will   reaffirm the world is a decent place.

 Anyway, this book is a keeper.  Find it.  Buy it.  Read it out loud to   somebody you love.
