After Dark by Haruki Murakami

After Dark

A hypnotic and cinematically brilliant novel by Haruki Murakami — an intimate nocturnal journey through the hidden hours of Tokyo, from midnight to dawn. Brief, atmospheric, and unlike anything else in Murakami's body of work.

About the Book

• Set entirely between midnight and six in the morning in Tokyo — narrated as if by a camera slowly observing the night
• Mari, a young woman sitting alone in a diner, meets a series of strangers whose lives intertwine through the course of a single night
• Meanwhile, her beautiful older sister Eri sleeps a deep, unnaturally long sleep — observed through a television screen by an unnamed, mysterious presence
• A love hotel, a jazz musician, a Chinese prostitute, and a menacing corporate man — Tokyo's nightlife unfolds in all its strange and tender complexity
• A meditation on consciousness, sleep, the boundary between waking and dreaming, and the quiet connections between strangers
