About this title

Synopsis:

Follow author Tom Pappalardo on a black coffee tour of cafes, diners, and convenience stores, as he travels the potholed side streets and witch-cursed back roads of Western Massachusetts. Grab a table and sit. Nod and smile at whatever the waitress brings you. Does it taste like a 9-volt battery dipped in old, hot Coke? Good. You’re in the right place.

This illustrated non-travel-guide will be your companion as you:

• Visit cafes overrun with bespectacled and be-bearded white male writers feverishly tweeting their clever observations.
• Eavesdrop on snippets of conversation — perfect for swift and context-free judgment!
• Seek the approval of old men skulking in diner booths, quizzing you on long-gone local businesses until you admit you’re not a real townie.
• Spiral off on occasional departures from reality.
• Angrily shake your fist at those consarned millennials with their preferred pronouns and befuddling emoji.
• Delve into scathing social critiques of corporate coffee chains th— OH GOD I’M BORED ALREADY.
• Suffocate as caffeine-fueled paranoia destroys you from within.
• Sit quietly; stare at phone.
• Curl into fetal position on a sticky convenience store floor, between the humming refrigerator case and the high fructose sadness.
• Have some coffee?
