GRAY KOCHHAR-LINDGREN
DESCRIPTION
Night Café 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 Café 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.
