Trivia / Nightfall (1990)

• Isaac Asimov's book #456.
• In Memoriam: This novel is dedicated to the memory of John W. Campbell, and to the memory of when the authors met him for the first time.
  "In fond and reverent memory of John W. Campbell, Jr.—and of those two terrified kids from Brooklyn who, in fear and trembling, made the awesome pilgrimage to his office, one of them in 1938 and the other in 1952."
• Completely Different Title:
  • 1941: The Dutch translations vary from conveying literal meaning of the title, to more abstract meanings. The 1964 translation is "Wanneer de Nacht Valt" (or, "When the Night Falls"), but the more recent 1976 translation is "Zonsondergang" (or, "Sun Going Down").
  • 1990: The Dutch translation, "Ondergang", creates a pun; it can mean sunset (like in zonsondergang) or downfall/demise.
