THE INSPIRATION FOR THE NETFLIX ORIGINAL FILM THE MIDNIGHT SKY, DIRECTED BY AND STARRING GEORGE CLOONEY

Augustine, a brilliant, aging astronomer, is consumed by the stars. For years he has lived in remote outposts, studying the sky for evidence of how the universe began. At his latest posting, in a research center in the Arctic, news of a catastrophic event arrives. The scientists are forced to evacuate, but Augustine stubbornly refuses to abandon his work. Shortly after the others have gone, Augustine discovers a mysterious child, Iris, and realizes that the airwaves have gone silent. They are alone.

At the same time, Mission Specialist Sullivan is aboard the Aether on its return flight from Jupiter. The astronauts are the first human beings to delve this deep into space, and Sully has made peace with the sacrifices required of her: a daughter left behind, a marriage ended. So far the journey has been a success. But when Mission Control falls inexplicably silent, Sully and her crewmates are forced to wonder if they will ever get home.

As Augustine and Sully each face an uncertain future against forbidding yet beautiful landscapes, their stories gradually intertwine in a profound and unexpected conclusion. In crystalline prose, Good Morning, Midnight poses the most important questions: What endures at the end of the world? How do we make sense of our lives? Lily Brooks-Daltons captivating debut is a meditation on the power of love and the bravery of the human heart.

I sure love LBD's writing, but I am not so sure I loved this book. I kinda think Augustine was... just an asshole who was retroactively granted complexity and nuance via flashback? And lord do I hate that we don't find out what happened to civilization. ( )

Good Morning, Midnight is a near-future post-apocalyptic novel. Like all the best work in the genre, the story is not about how it all ended but rather the humanity of those who survived. Lily Brooks-Dalton expertly uses a quiet tone to immerse the reader in the silence of an empty, dead world. Ultimately, it is the story of what is left of the individual once all of civilization has been stripped away.

There is also an element in this book which is executed with elegance and subtlety. It would be impossible to discuss in this review without spoilers, but I will say that I admired it tremendously. ( )

If you love Bowie's Space Oddity like I do,

I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.

Then I'm pretty sure you will love this book as much as I did. An absolute gem of a book ! ( )

A very good post-apocalyptic/sci-fi novel with a clever structure. Although there are some typical plot events that propel the bifid story, the rich underlying descriptions of outer space, the arctic, and the characters’ parallel estrangements and longings provide both the atmosphere and the substance of the book. We are also reminded of the beauty of this planet that we have not completely destroyed yet, and of its remarkable resilience (like the wildlife at Chernobyl) when we are gone. ( )

I picked this up because I had enjoyed the film adaptation, "Midnight Sky," on Netflix and thought the book would be a good way to kick of my 2021 reading goals. Its an excellent book and I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter. The book far surpasses the movie in both its pacing and its overall tone. "Good Morning, Midnight" is a slow burn, its not full of pages of crises that have to be resolved immediately. Its a book about introspection and trying to reconcile who you are as a person with the world around you. ( )

Good Morning, Midnight (Random House) by Lily Brooks-Dalton is a beautifully written, sparse post-apocalyptic novel that explores memory, loss and identity.... Fans of Emily St. John Mandel’s “Station Eleven ” and Kim Stanley Robinson’s “Aurora” will appreciate the Brooks-Dalton’s exquisite exploration of relationships in extreme environments.

A debut novel with an intriguing premise. . . . What is left when everything is gone? What does it mean to be alive in the universe and the grandeur of vast emptiness? ... What particularly undermines the high-concept story is writing that calls attention to itself. It pulls the reader out of what novelist John Gardner called the dream. As with real dreams, it is hard for a once–awakened sleeper to get back into it.
 
Brooks-Dalton’s prose lights up the page in great swathes, her dialogue sharp and insightful, and the high-concept plot drives a story of place, elusive love, and the inexorable yearning for human contact. Although the book’s two parallel threads often read less like a novel than a pair of expertly crafted—if only tangentially related—novellas, the memorable characters explore complex questions that resonate with the urgency of a glimpse into the void.

Two scientists in remote locations must navigate the sudden loss of human life on Earth.... Brooks-Dalton (Motorcycles I’ve Loved, 2015) is a writer who loves grand gestures, and she’s at her best when writing about the epic settings that anchor the book, as the arctic and deep space give Brooks-Dalton outlets that match her scope. However, both the plot and the writing itself frequently fall into this same grandiosity: when an apocalypse is the least dramatic part of a novel, one wonders if Brooks-Dalton might have gotten the same amount of punch with less extravagance. An apocalyptic soap opera set in vividly imagined environments.
