Stories From the Vinyl Cafe

“McLean keeps comedy writing alive in Canada.” – Winnipeg Free Press“The man can tell a story…. He has a remarkable ability to polish the everyday and give it a gleam…. It is a generous and remarkable thing, best shared with a wink and a nod and a good cup of tea.” – The Globe and Mail“Stuart McLean is one of Canada’s most beloved storytellers.” – The Ottawa Citizen“The same blend of charm and humour as the No. 1 Ladies Detective Series’.” – The Times (London)“Rip-roaringly funny…. A cosy, meandering, often laugh-out-loud treat.” – Kirkus Reviews (New York)“It’s rare to find a book that would be the perfect gift for a good friend or a total stranger, but Home from the Vinyl Cafe is that rare find because it’s hard to think of anyone who wouldn’t enjoy and treasure this collection of stories.” – Chronicle-Journal (Thunder Bay)“McLean’s wry depiction of the hapless Dave and his family is apt, hilarious and never saccharin. We defy you to read the chapter on their unintentional kitchen renovation [in the Vinyl Café Unplugged] without hooting with laughter.” – Chatelaine
