Peter Kolinsky is an expert on rare books and had a good job at an auction house. After black marketers use him in their schemes Peter loses his job and a friend gets him a job at a book depository company. However, Peter has insomnia, stays up all night, wakes up late and is frequently late to his new job. He is fired again. Peter has found a cafe that is open all night called Insomnia. There he befriends a waitress named Angela and she helps him get a job at the cafe. On one of their dates she takes him to the archives-a place where books being currently written by famous writers are on the shelves. However, the black marketers have not forgotten about him and are pursuing him. Peter is terrified and seeks refuge in the archives. Most of the story, though, takes place at the cafe.
Insomnia Cafe is a cute book and is a fast read since it is only 80 pages. The artwork consists of black and white drawings in comic strip panels. Turkish illustrator M. K. Perker wrote and drew the book. It was a relaxing read for me last weekend where I read it in a park on a hot and sunny day.
5 out of 5 stars.
