Synopsis

For Stefany Anne Golberg, the morning itself became a possibility she could no longer tolerate, so at age fourteen, she erased it all together.In a ranch house in a Vegas suburb, Golbergs peculiar brand of insomnia lives alongside an ailing father, a professor on permanent leave from the local university. Her mother has moved out, her older brother has gone to college, and she is alone with the night, resisting the fundamental unit by which we measure our lives: the next day itself.Startling, poignant, and harrowing, Golbergs voice is informed by an eclectic range of interests, from Bruegel to Jung, Loren Eiseley to Marina Tsvetaeva. Equal parts coming-of-age memoir, art history, and philosophical inquiry, My Morningless Mornings is a young persons reckoning with consciousness.
