From the New York Times bestselling author--a gripping novel of late night encounters that's "hypnotically eerie, sometimes even funny, but most of all ... [a book] that keeps ratc heting up the suspense" (The Washington Post Book World). Now with a new introduction by the author. Nineteen-year-old Mari is waiting out the night in an anonymous Denny's when she meets a young man who insists he knows her older sister, thus setting her on an odyssey through the sleeping city. In the space of a single night, the lives of a diverse cast of Tokyo residents--models, prostitutes, mobsters, and musicians--collide in a world suspended between fantasy and reality. Utterly enchanting and infused with surrealism, After Dark is a thrilling account of the magical hours separating midnight from dawn.Author: Haruki MurakamiPublisher: VintagePublished: 04/29/2008Pages: 256Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.56lbsSize: 8.02h x 5.18w x 0.76dISBN: 9780307278739About the AuthorHaruki Murakami was born in Kyoto in 1949 and now lives near Tokyo.
