A minor miracle...After you read it, nothing - not even a sheet of newsprint - will seem ordinary again. The New York Times Book Review A beautifully written book that traces the origins of three ordinary things that Cohen had contemplated in Boston's Someday Cafe...Cohen's tracing of the three objects is fascinating, but what really sets it apart is the poetic beauty of the prose. Philadelphia Inquirer At its frequent best, Glass, Paper, Beans pulls the reader into a slowed appreciation of the arc of a day...Something to be savored. Toronto Globe & Mail Transformed by the lucid writing and imaginative thinking of Leah Hager Cohen, Glass, Paper, Beans becomes a meditation on the charged nature of our relationship to objects...At the deepest level, this is a book about storytelling as a mission of discovery and transcendence.
