Canned coffee reviews and scribbles

The Coffee Journals (190g) is a 31-page, illustrated wreck of a diary penned in the aggressively naïve hand of David Cady after he consumed various Japanese canned coffees in his Tokyo apartment. Filled with lies, intensely self-referential and at times extremely unfunny, the fifteen entries in this e-book will probably annoy the reader to the point of anger. The Coffee Journals has also been criticized for being overly monkey-centric. Tellingly, there is a misspelling in the very first sentence.

The illustrations by Craig Mod are something to be flinched at rather than lingered over. And yet without them, the journals would be an utter travesty, bald and naked. They are the Persian rug that pulls the whole room together, if you will.

We offer this literary object in PDF form. Download it, print it out and hang it on your wall. Or staple the pages together into a crude parody of a book and leave it on your coffee table. A guaranteed conversation starter at wine parties.
