Night Cafe - The Amorous Notes of a Barista (Paperback)

Night Cafe is a book for the senses that think. Gray Kochhar-Lindgren takes us through a history of coffee as recorded for and by the thinkers of the 19th and 20th century. The Night Cafe brings together prominent critics, artists, and intellectuals in an encounter which the author describes as a meeting between epistemo-lovers who are equally into rigorous mathematics and the architecture of the tastes. Here's some coffee according to Walter Benjamin, Vincent Van Gogh, Hemingway, Rilke, Ovid, and others."These amorous notes show a deep, dark passion for philosophy, literature and art-as well as an ardent love of the dispeller of all worries, the drink whose ingestion-and the ensuing thoughts-Gray convinces us amounts to a Hell of a lot more than a mere hill of beans: coffee." (Bent Sorensen)"When one opens the pages of Kochhar-Lindgren's Night Cafe, after inspectingthe menu, one ultimately chooses to fill the optic cup to the brim, that concavereceptacle, which synthesizes light from the pupil, iris, & retina, beaming color & imagery into the optic nerve. A pathway, past fact, into depths of imagination, reaching down to the Shaman of Trois Freres, & seeing through the eyes in Cafesof Vincent van Gogh, Walter Benjamin, Ernest Hemingway, & others. Refills aredesirable & free " (Robert Gibbons)
