An Outcome as Perfect as Morning is the fourth and final book in N. Daniel's "Minneapolis" memoir series.
In the years after the riots in Minneapolis Daniel adjusts to married life and symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder. While he and his wife Paaj struggle to save their union, Daniel is haunted by visions of torture and isolation. He further retreats into his shell, seeking solace with an imagined Chinese prisoner of war. When the pain of his trauma becomes too severe he ends his medication routine and treads further down, into the spiritual rabbit hole. As his life is compressed into an agonizing singularity, the diamonds of enlightenment shine, giving him hope for a better future.Reminiscent of "Johnny Got his Gun" by Dalton Trumbo and "Slaughter House Five" by Kurt Vonnegut Jr, "An Outcome as Perfect as Morning" is a book about coming to terms with the spiritual war currently being waged at the heart of humanity. Through clever plot devices and profound epiphanies, N. Daniel paints a picture of life in America that is both fascinating and terrifying. This book is not for the faint of heart but maintains a worthy narrative for mainstream political discussion.
