The Calvin Dover Show -- The poet -- A night with Quincy Tynes.

A young writer finds his way in and out of love in late twentieth-century Toronto. The scene is Toronto, early 1990s, and Aubrey McKee has fallen in love with a bewitching stranger, a poet who talks him into stealing her a piece of cake from a party and quickly becomes the person for whom he would do anything at all. As their relationship deepens and their creative and professional lives stumble, stall, then suddenly ignite, Aubrey and Gudrun struggle against their own limitations--as well as each other's. Prefaced by a short story and concluded with a play, The Education of Aubrey McKee is the much-anticipated continuation of Alex Pugsley's debut Aubrey McKee, a campus novel in which the city of Toronto itself is the institute of higher education, and a glittering story about learning how to love.
