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 alien to 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. These “night people” are haunted by secrets and needs that draw them together more powerfully than the differing circumstances that might keep them apart, and it soon becomes clear that Eri’s slumber—mysteriously tied to the businessman plagued by the mark of his crime—will either restore or annihilate her.
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—the interplay between self-expression and empathy, between the power of observation and the scope of compassion and love. Murakami’s trademark humor, psychological insight, and grasp of spirit and morality are here distilled with an extraordinary, harmonious mastery.</p>

评分看的第一部村上春树小说，不知是德文译者的问题还是原作本身就是如此，感觉作者文笔粗陋，意境局促，功力不足。 整部小说唯有最后，当男女主角在车站分别后，全景式白描的写法才慢慢显示出些许气魄，但为时已晚。 整部小说的意味，其实就在这一句： Die Doppelexistenz schei...
评分I'm a bit disappointed by Murakami's new book. It's a bit watery to me and felt only half of the story was finished...I couldn't get into it as well as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.
评分After finished reading After Dark, I can say that I have read all Murakami's novels, two in English, others in Chinese. Translation novels are easier to read with less unfamiliar words than original English novel. For this reason, the process of reading the...
