My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Now that I know that the book is actually translated from a play, I will say that the book is great. Imagine being able to revisit a conversation with anyone in the world (with certain rules of course, one of which there will be no change of circumstance as a result of the meeting) in a certain cafe. At first I thought this book was going to be a series of different interactions of strangers, but in such a clever way, the author/playwright showed the intricate web of relationships that extend in the past and the future. But when you read this book, please remember to read it like a play- it weirdly makes it more like a 3D read.
