Haruki Murakami | After dark
- © Haruki Murakami 2004
- Reality is bent even more sharply by lack of sleep in this stunning novel from the master of the surreal. Eyes mark the shape of the city. The midnight hour approaches in an almost empty diner. Marie sips her coffee and reads a book, but soon her solitude is disturbed: a girl has been beaten up at the Hotel Alphaville and needs Marie's help.Meanwhile, Marie's beautiful sister Erie lies in a deep, heavy sleep that is "too perfect, too pure" to be normal; lasted two months. But tonight, as the digital clock reads 00:00, a hint of life flickers on the TV screen in her room, even though it's unplugged. Strange night events or trick of the night?"A captivating mood piece, delicate and thoughtful" Evening Standard
