In his book "Overnight: Journeys, Conversations and Stories After Dark," Dan Richards explores the often overlooked opportunities of nighttime adventures. Following an experience stranded in the Swiss mountains at a high altitude, Richards investigates the lives of night owls—ranging from courageous lifeboat crews to dedicated shift workers. His journey takes him across various landscapes, including the evocative settings of Finland and the excitement of a 24-hour race at Le Mans, revealing how darkness can heighten our senses and open our eyes to a world teeming with unseen narratives and connections.
Hopelessly lost, he drew comfort from the occasional blips of aircraft in the sky above and from moving lights in the town below: others, too, were out and about, albeit in less of a fix.
Travelling to Le Mans for France's 24-hour motor race, the writer finds actor Michael Fassbender competing and has a quick chat about night's calm focus.
