Here is a short, sleek novel of encounters, set in Tokyo during the witching hours between midnight and dawn, and every bit as gripping as Haruki Murakami's masterworks The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and Kafka on the Shore.

At its center are two sisters: Eri, a fashion model slumbering her way into oblivion, and Mari, a young student soon led from solitary reading at an anonymous Denny's toward people whose lives are radically different from her own: a jazz trombonist who claims they've met before, a burly female "love hotel" manager and her maid staff, and a Chinese prostitute savagely brutalized by a businessman.

After Dark moves from mesmerizing drama to metaphysical speculation, interweaving time and space, as well as memory and perspective, into a seamless exploration of human agency. Murakami's trademark humor, psychological insight, and grasp of spirit and morality are here distilled with extraordinary, harmonious mastery.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Darkly entertaining" (Publishers Weekly)
"A seductive and gratifying intellectual and romantic adventure." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Disarmingly intimate, almost tactile...The narrative flows like a jazz ballad [in which] each character is unique in his or her loneliness, yet each possesses a capacity for momentary empathy that is both sweet and heartbreaking. Murakami's genius, on both large and small canvases, is to create worlds both utterly alien and disconcertingly familiar." (Booklist)

It was so well written and very atmospheric.. the narrator was so good.. the monotone and robotic tone emphasized a certain character and highlighted the strange eerie feeling of Tokyo after dark. If you’ve been to Japan and wondered around after the trains stop this book EMBODIES that tip of your toes other worldly feeling.. it was sooo Japanese in the best ways possible. If you like those types of indie movies you watch and at the end you’re still kind of like.. ‘wait huh.. that was dark and deep but.. it’s over?’ while simultaneously feeling like you just witnessed *art* this book is for you.

Beautiful imagery

I'm a Haruki fan, enjoyed this because of the usual juxtaposition of the ordinary and the surreal, the wonderful use of language. BUT just when I felt that I was getting to know and love the characters, the book ended. It needs a sequel.

Very enjoyable, but loose ends

I loved Kafka by the Shore, but am stumped by this story. I liked the protagonist, and really, most of the characters, but the plot leaves too many points open and neither redeems nor damns the characters in the end. Murakami has us watch from the outside in like were behind a camera lens, which left me cold and distant to the whole story. Everyone, male and female, are objectified in this world. Narration was great, however.

...So what?

I love Murikami anyway and was in the mood for one of his quirky stories and this satisfied perfectly. I love how his mystical elements are never explained but make sense in terms of the story. The reader was great! Listened straight through in just a couple of days.

Good read

This book has a simple and concise style, and it’s about as easy a book to read as you can find. However, it lacks the magic and strong emotions that I look for in a Murakami story. It has some moments, and there’s some mystery to keep the story going, but overall it just leaves the readers thinking… “huh… okay… Meh.”

Wind up and Kafka are much better choices for those interested in Murakami.

Decent but low impact

amazing narration and absolute page turner. I wasn't a fan of the ending, very anticlimactic for my tastes, but the rest of it was very interesting. I love the style in which this is written, first person omnipresent. I don't know that I've seen that before.

Couldn't put it down

Didn’t like narrator …The narrator was very soft and super flat it was really boring I suggest not use her again

This short Murakami novel, which emphasizes eerie atmosphere over plot and character, isn't as engaging as, say, Kafka on the Shore. Sleep is a major theme here, and I did find myself dozing off at times. Still, there are some evocative scenes, and the narration fits the mood. Murakami fans won't want to skip this, but those new to the Japanese postmodernist may want to start elsewhere.
