| Publisher Description: In the summer of 2016 James Murphy made a trip to Norway to see the midnight sun. The midnight sun is a spectacle that is witnessed near Arctic latitudes each year in late June during the summer solstice. The first day of summer marks the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, and sunlight can be seen for all hours of the day. The mere thought of 24 hours of daylight kicked James to rekindle a friendship with a buddy from Norway and take a week's vacation in the beautiful Scandinavian country of Norway. With a backpack on his shoulders, James crossed the pond alone, and spent 7 days roaming Norway and the cities and Trondheim and Oslo with his buddy, Einar. The exotic land produced soul that spoke to the spirit of something strange and new to James. The endless daylight and camaraderie rolled across the landscape of coasts and mountains breeding endless breath and vigor into the writer. The food and the fare extracted an innocent zest. Lots of smiling, laughter, and deep thought were gained and gathered. When the air is new and the friendship is old, status becomes null and void. The feel-good factor hits a maximum and the perception is keen to the freshness of the air. The Norwegian air is some of the freshest James has ever tasted, and in the Midnight Sun, James shares that aura with you, the reader. |
