Before the Coffee Gets Cold

Toshikazu Kawaguch
Picador • 2019

What would you change if you could go back in time? In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a café which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop...p offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time. In Before the Coffee Gets Cold, we meet four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the café’s time-travelling offer, in order to: confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by early onset Alzheimer's, to see their sister one last time, and to meet the daughter they never got the chance to know. But the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the café, and finally, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold. Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s beautiful, moving story – translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot – explores the age-old question: what would you change if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?

Existuje taká legenda, že v jednom nemenovanom japonskom meste sa nachádza kaviareň, v ktorej sa môžete preniesť v čase. Tých, čo to skúsili, nie je veľa. Väčšinu záujemcov totiž od cesty časom hneď na začiatku odradia veľmi prísne pravidlá. Japonský autor Tošikazu Kawaguči vo svojej knižnej prvotine Kým vychladne káva prináša štyri príbehy ľudí, ktorí sa na túto cestu podujali. Samozrejme,[...]

Život je o rozhodnutiach. Celá naša existencia závisí od toho, ako sa rozhodneme. Od toho sa odvíja, do akých situácií sa dostávame. Musíme si vybrať tú správnu cestu. Vždy sa nachádzame na rázcestí a jeden zlý krok, jeden okamih, môže všetko zničiť. No aj to sa stáva, pretože sme len ľudia. Sme omylní a niekedy sa zdá, že robíme jednu chybu za druhou. Keby sme mohli vrátiť čas a zmeniť[...]
