Toshikazu Kawaguchi Literary Novels Editorial Review
"Before the Coffee Gets Cold" is a charming and thought-provoking novel that explores the concept of time travel in a small café in Tokyo. The book is a cross between a fairy tale and a fable, with four interlocked stories playing out beautifully. Despite the nuances that may be lost in translation and the subtle interactions that may feel cold compared to American culture, these elements add to the overall charm of the book. The novel delivers a message of hope and encourages readers to reflect on the distortions in their perception of reality. While not a thriller or a mystery, this book offers a mysterious and magical journey through time that will leave readers wishing for more.
