After years of writing musically-themed stories for his Wales’ Record Store Facebook page, author Wales Xie has published this collection of short stories linked by a coffee truck that cruises the streets in the wee hours of the night. The proprietor of the truck slings music as well as coffee, with tastes that run from pop to classical. He’ll accept anything in exchange for his coffee – even a story – it’s entirely up to the customer. Thus, music, coffee, and his customers’ tales of woe become the staples at this late-night mobile café, brewing up an atmosphere of nostalgic regret sweetened with kindness and acceptance. Whether they are enchanted by the warmth of Wales’ prose or the healing power of his classic playlist, readers will find much to relish in this collection.
