Opis

The brain moves into over-drive and it's time for empire building. So goes Stewart Lee Allen's crazy theory. Only thing is, after retracing coffee's journey to world domination - by train, rickshaw, cargo freighter and donkey - he has plenty of evidence to back it up.

Recenzje

this is lively, interesting stuff, laced with dry wit and canny observations. Scotland on Sunday
