Before the Coffee Gets Cold | By Toshikazu Kawaguchi | Picador Publication ( English Medium )

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 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. Before the Coffee Gets Cold" is a novel by Japanese playwright Toshikazu Kawaguchi, first published in 2015 and translated into English in 2019 by Geoffrey Trousselot. The story is set in a small, basement café in Tokyo called Funiculi Funicula, which offers its patrons a unique opportunity: the chance to travel back in time. However, this time travel comes with strict rules: travelers must sit in a specific seat, cannot leave the café, can only meet people who have visited the café, and must return to the present before their coffee gets cold. The novel is divided into four interconnected stories, each focusing on a different individual who seeks to revisit a pivotal moment with a loved one. Through these narratives, the book explores themes of love, loss, regret, and the human desire to change the past. Kawaguchi's work has been praised for its heartfelt storytelling and has inspired sequels and adaptations, including a film and a stage play.
