Coffee Shop Talk: Stories, Essays, and Poems. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.Coffee Shop Talk: Stories, Essays, and Poems

Coffee shop culture is like that of pubs and taverns, even the most corporate places strive for a certain “local watering hole” quality. The best of them seem to have the same successful ambiance: clean, friendly places where the really good baristas know the customers by name and favorite beverage. It’s a mix of the familiar, the intimate, and the anonymous. Inspired by the arrival of a new laptop, author Judith Cullen began a weekly ritual in 2014 of spending Friday mornings in a local coffee shop. The result of this common literary practice was fruitful, with inspirations reflecting from the tabletops and fluttering outside the window panes. Herein are twelve essays and stories, one for each month, and additional assorted poems. Subjects range from the laundry accidents, timely moments of friendship, love, depression, and the very nature of coffee shops themselves. “Judith's fiction is layered with intimate and significant details, laced with laughs. Five stars!” ~ Reader Review of Reflections from The Golden Wheel from Amazon.com
