I really liked this. It was like blinking at moments. And every time you opened your eyes, you would see something different. Something different or the same thing with more depth.
This is Murakami compact.Set during one night it is the story of Mari who is awake and doesn't want to sleep, and her beautiful sister Eri, who is asleep day and night.Night time is a different place - a different undersea world where the people who live by night are different of course then those w...
A soft flutter of a gossamer night that makes for an ethereal read.-----Curtis Fuller plays Five Spot After Dark:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BlHRPXPx-4The manwithnoface in the book reminds me of Christopher Walken in that start of that Fat Boy Slim music video *snaps fingers, trying to remember*...
there's a lot to this book. i wish i could have slowed it down and read it slower, because i think i probably missed quite a bit. murakami has a lot to say and i'm looking forward to reading more of him in the future....here's my more in depth review after a few days of thinking about it. as far ...
I initially would have given this book four stars, but it kept sneaking up on me for days after I finished it, so I bumped it up to five.

Others have told me that After Dark is not the one to start with but I think there is a lot to recommend it. The novel ta...
A dreamlike book, written extremely visually, almost like a screenplay, and of an equivalent length. (short)Taking place over the course of one night in Tokyo, it follows a young woman, Mari, who has decided to stay out all night. A young man, Tetsuya, sees her sitting in a coffeeshop and introduces...
