A dark and masterful portrait of a generation in crisis, from one of the most exciting young voices in international literature.

The world had been theirs in the late '90s: They were the young provocateurs behind a countercultural scene, digital bohemians creating a new future. But 15 years later, Duke, the leader and undisputed genius of their group, has been murdered, and the three remaining members of their circle reunite to piece together what became of their lives and how they fell so short of their expectations.

Now in their 30s, Aurora, Antero, and Emiliano have succumbed to the pressures of adulthood, the exigencies of carving out a life in a country that is fraying at the seams. Reunited after years of long-held grudges and painful crushes, the three try to resurrect the spirit of the all-night parties and early morning trysts, the protests and pornography of their youths. Lurking over them, as they puzzle out their fates, is the question of whether or not there is a future for them to believe in or if the end has already arrived.

Twenty After Midnight is a portrait of the first generation of the digital age, a group that was promised everything but handed a fractured world. Daniel Galera has written a pre-apocalyptic tale of millennial longings.

I wanted to like this book, based on the NY Times Book Review, but I could just not get into it. It took me almost twenty pages to realize that the initial narrator was a woman and not a man. I guess that can be good sometimes but it didn't work for me. A lot of the story was philosophical explanations of various political idealogies and how when these characters were students, etc, etc.....enough!! I read enough of this aimless garbage in college and I won't read it again. Some of you might love this book and that's fine....I just didn't enjoy any part of it at all...

This is my second time reviewing this book because my first apparently has some inappropriate content in it. The inappropriate content was me describing what’s Inside this book and what you would’ve had to look forward to reading. All in all, buy and read at your own risk, it drags and goes absolutely nowhere but in circles and I thought the ending was going to sum up the dis function that is this book, but it was just as lack luster and disappointing. Now I like weird, but this just ain’t the good kinda weird. Mm mm. I give it 2 stars, because I think it’s actually a translation from Spanish to English so props to the person who had to sit and do that.

When did we become grown-ups is the question facing Aurora, Antero and Emiliano as they gather after their friend Duke has been murdered. Looking behind them at their past they desperately try to revive the crazy days of their youth as they struggle to understand how they reached where they are and how they failed in reaching their dreams. Well written and engrossing you'll happily flip the pages as you are drawn into their story. Happy reading!
