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)
