One of Charlie’s favorite books as a child was Steinbeck’s “Travels with Charlie.” This Charlie has often traveled but with less fanfare and accolades than the more famous author. Charlie McOuat has traveled much in the world and in his mind. This latest masterpiece will take you from Cape Cod’s shark ridden waters, to “Bermuda with Three Different Women,” to “Cuba, Si,” to Hong Kong, to Singapore and many stops between. The most interesting ventures are in his unique brain, sometimes described by intimates as “Wacko,” which are well recorded in this long awaited fifth book. His fans are demanding, so once again Charlie had to sit and produce another gem. You will love his essays, memoirs, poems, a short story, all written with mature insights that come from 78 years of sensitive observations. Be prepared to skip from “High School Latin” to his latest trip in “Too Old to Travel to Asia,” or his thought provoking, “Strength of Community.” Don’t miss this chance to laugh, cry, and think along with this accomplished author, philosopher, wordsmith, dentist, and human dynamo. Do yourself a favor, forget today’s obligations, turn off the TV, shut down your Ipad, sit back, and enjoy this book full of stimulation and humor.
