존재의 증명

A man comes to in a café with no idea who he is. He sets about questioning everything around him to work out his identity, and the answers only make it murkier, yet he keeps finding that he approves of his own taste: the coffee he drinks, the things he wears. Coffee, which he loves for the way it brings a person back to themselves, becomes an irony for someone who has lost himself. The story turns on the gap between recollection, never fixed and easily altered, and taste, which stays, and on the idea that each of us has to build a self.
