If you’re ready to get cerebral while also being hypnotized by prose, this slim memoir is perfect. Golberg writes about isolating herself in the night, rejecting the world’s attachment to day. The dark brings on all kinds of meditation on psychology, death, art and what it means to be awake. This might be the ultimate quarantine read." ― Seattle Times? Have you had a reason to avoid the morning? To wish you didn’t have to wake up and face your life? For Stefany Anne Golberg, the morning itself became a possibility she could no longer tolerate, and at age fourteen she erased it all together. In a ranch house in a Vegas suburb, Golberg’s 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, Golberg’s 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 person’s reckoning with consciousness.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"An exploration of her relationship with her father and her relationship with nighttime, Golberg’s memoir, My Morningless Mornings, belies an easy plot summary. It is a book about insomnia as much as it is about art, and it is a book about being alone as much as it is about relationships with family and community. Throughout My Morningless Mornings, Golberg is on a journey toward understanding her position in her own life, and she deftly unpacks these ideas and thoughts with every turn of the page." ―Wendy J. Fox, BuzzFeed

"If you’re after something kind of cerebral and meditative for the middle of the night (which, this time of year, could be 7:00 pm), Stefany Anne Golberg’s memoir-cum-philosophy book is here for you. Golberg grew up in a hard family situation outside Las Vegas, where she decided to separate herself from the world by staying up all night. My Morningless Mornings explores the concept of being awake, ideas about psychology and art, and what happens at 3:00 am. It’s a short and meandering read perfect for the dark hours." ―Sarah Neilson, Electric Literature

Review

"There aren't many things we can isolate as characteristic of all human beings everywhere. Walking on two feet? Wearing clothes? Sleeping by night and going about by day? We will have to scrap the last of these, as Stefany Ann Golberg's stunning work reveals to us the profound humanity of someone who stays up all night, who does not welcome the morning as the beginning of a new day full of promise, but rather experiences it as the dreaded end of that part of her life that is most real, most vital, and sharpest: the night.” ―Justin Erik Halldór Smith

Great Day in the Morning

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

Golberg is a modern Montaigne, offering up a pleasing flow of insights, recollections, and literary references, loosely based around her own strangely interesting nocturnal history. All very low-key, relatable, and delivered with generosity and humility. Her reflections on morning and all the shades of time leading up to it are lovely and profound.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 4, 2020

Beautifully written.

A good book for moments of transition

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 19, 2020

My Morningless Mornings is one-part personal memoir and one-part philosophical musings. It feels very personal, like reading someone's diary of deepest thoughts. I think it was this deep-seated personal-ness that left me with no doubt that my own reading of this story affected me because of my own deeply personal experiences.

I read this story during days 37-39 of self-isolation during the pandemic of 2020. I read this story in the early stages of treatment for cancer. I read this story with a 15-year-old son who does not speak to me and who is weathering all this news not only in his own silence, but in strange new hours that he is keeping, where he goes to sleep around 4am and wakes up just a little before noon. I read this story as a life-long "morning person," as someone who loves to get up while it is still dark and celebrates the world returning to light.

That is to say, I read this story as someone who has not had a perilous relation to mornings. And as I read the author's experiences, I was invited into a new world. This new world helped me understand what my son might be experiencing (something deeply precious to a mother) and gave me some insight into what we are all facing right now as we navigate this pandemic and what a return to the world might look like when our stay-at-home order is lifted -- an easy parallel to many of the themes that arise in the later chapters of Twilight and Sunrise.

This book is a story, but it is one wrapped in philosophical musings. I'm sure it's not for everyone. But that being said, I found it valuable and I will be thinking of it as I move through the times I am now facing.

A Strangely Compelling Memoir

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 30, 2020

My guru once told us that if we could toss all of our secret fears and neuroses, the ones we think define us, into a pile in the middle of the room, like shoes, that we would not be able to tell them apart in order to retrieve them. In other words, we are more alike than we think we are.

This book has the opposite message. I thought I knew something of Golberg's vision, having read many of her essays, but this revealing memoir instead reveals a human being whose view of the world is wholly unique. I suppose she and I must have something in common, but I don't know what that might be.

I can't find the quote, but I could swear that Kafka (who of course shows up in this book) said that one can know another most fully by his gaze. This book is all about the author's gaze. More than that, it turns its gaze upon the gaze of others: painters, philosophers, explorers, poets, and more. "My Morningless Morning" is a jumping-off place into other ways of seeing and knowing.

I wrote a memoir when I retired, but it turned into just a lot of stories about weird adventures I had growing up in those weird decades of the 60's and 70's. This book is a real window into the vivid world view of a fellow human on this planet and her journey through time and light, and what has animated her journey.

Thoughtful, Timely Writing

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 10, 2020

While I feel I would have loved this book at any time, it was definitely a perfect read in spring of 2020 as the author explores her formerly self-imposed isolation.
