synopsis
Don't rush Trafalgar Medrano when he starts telling you about his latest intergalactic sales trip. He likes to stretch things out over precisely seven coffees. No one knows whether he actu-ally travels to the stars, but he tells the best tall tales in the city, so why doubt him? In each chapter Trafalgar and the narrator sit, either at the latters home or at one of the tables in the Burgundy - over black coffee, made either inexpertly by his friends or perfectly by the Burgundy's implacable waiter Marcos, as Trafalgar tells the story of some strange occurrence on one of his business trips.
