Query: A really warm series of short readings...

I don't know what point Barry is trying to make with these collection of stories, but I couldn't find one.What I did find was an overall warmth and a feeling of happy contentedness as I read through.The works aren't deep, individually, but as a collection they speak wonderfully for Americana.It's a good book for family reading time... in front of a fireplace on a cold winter day, on the porch during the summer, or anytime you want to feel good without working too hard at it.
