A review by timinbc
Nightwings by Robert Silverberg
4.0
I read this as half of a double with Jack Vance's The Last Castle–and yes, I am old enough to have read some doubles back when they were a thing. So I think I only got the original novella, and I'm fine with that.
In 81 pages Silverberg shows us a future world in surprising detail, introduces multiple characters with individual arcs, throws us a crisis and what it reveals about our characters. It's a sinking world, but the slightly enigmatic last part of the ending is a brilliant uplift coda.
Yes, Hugo-worthy.
