Ep 685 - Before the Coffee Gets Cold, by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
Manage episode 460870857 series 3402670
A prime example of the "healing fiction" genre, Before The Coffee Gets Cold has uncharacteristically low stakes for a time travel novel: no future of humanity to save, no butterfly effects, no risk of destroying the present by altering the past. It's more concerned with simpler questions: if you had just a little more information about things that happened in the past, how much would it change the things you do in the present?
