kfish3 's review for:

The Last Days of Night by Graham Moore
4.0

The Last Days of Night by Graham Moore is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in late July.

Inspired and supercharged with masterful storytelling, Paul Cravath's legal associations and run-in's with Westinghouse, Edison, Tesla, and a stage actress named Agnes Huntington are written in a way that's beyond alt/sci-fi, beyond 'steampunk,' and is a class all unto its own. I ended up learning the basics of electrical power and that Moore's depiction of Tesla's broken English dialogue and specific idiosyncrasies (like eating meals in quantities of a cubic volume divisible by 3) is incredibly witty.
