Just where is Margaritaville anyway? It’s not on a map, but it does exist, in the brilliantly creative, sometimes slightly skewed imagination of Jimmy Buffett. Now the man who brought us such memorable hit tunes as “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” “Changes in Lattitudes, Changes in Attitudes,” and “Margaritaville,” has turned his singular talent to writing short stories, some fictional, some not. The happy result is Tales from Margaritaville, a collection so vividly packed with restless dreamers, wild wanderers and pure gypsy souls that just reading it is an adventure itself.
