What happens in The End of the Pale Hour from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

A measured, thoughtful portrait of an unlikely friendship formed under the lens of fame and literary ambition. The story begins with the shock of a famous author’s suicide in 2008 and follows the writer who once interviewed him, as he revisits the tapes and recordings from their time together. The narrative then rewinds to 1996, just after the publication of the author’s landmark novel, and traces how a modestly successful journalist convinces his editor to send him on a book tour assignment that becomes something far more intimate and revealing than a typical profile.
