Toshikazu Kawaguchi 3 Books Collection Set [Before the Coffee Gets Cold; Tales from the Cafe & Before Your Memory Fades]

Product Information

Reading this does make me want to see the play and I quite enjoyed all the time travel aspects, particularly the ghost element that was playful and really worked to add texture to the story. The fact that there time travellers must abide by a number of rules gets mentioned maybe ten times in the first section of the book, and the rules themselves get repeated so often that they become mantra-like. Although the foundation of the book is based on a script written by Kawaguchi, it doesn’t detract from the gentle and reflective story-telling of the book — asking the reader to consider the fundamental question: what would you change if you could go back in time? It might have been more effective had it not made the pacing so jumpy, with flashbacks constantly interrupting the scenes and drawing the tension out in a way that feels like the elimination round scenes in a reality show where you just want to get to the point. On the hillside of Mount Hakodate in northern Japan, Cafe Donna Donna is fabled for its dazzling views of Hakodate port.

Most people have regrets and can remember times in their past when they wish they’d said something different, or said anything at all, and Kawaguchi has created a little world where it’s possible to change this, and where the chance to replay scenes is more than just wishful thinking.

Even if there are strict measurements set in place making it seem almost pointless to even take part in the activity?However, in addition to being linked by the setting and the café’s regulars, each part has in common the idea of a person wanting to relive a moment, even if they know they can’t change the present. When you choose your UNBORN child over your wife, the apparent Love of your life, you essentially show her how replaceable she is. But Kazu still goes on believing that, no matter what difficulties people face, they will always have the strength to overcome them.

When Kei said she wanted to go to the future to see whether she would have her child due to all the pregnancy-related complications she was having at that time, her husband Nagare argued strongly against her decision as he thought that if she went into the future and discovered that the child didn’t exist, the hope which is the inner strength that had been sustaining his wife until then would be destroyed.
