Haruki Murakami

After Dark Haruki Murakami

Murakami's atmospheric masterpiece, now in a deluxe gift edition. A beautifully packaged hardback edition of the mesmerizingly evocative classic, now with a new introduction by the author. Eyes mark the shape of the city. The midnight hour approaches in an almost-empty diner. Mari sips her coffee and reads a book, but soon her solitude is disturbed: a girl has been beaten up at the Alphaville hotel, and needs Mari's help. Meanwhile Mari's beautiful sister Eri lies in a deep, heavy sleep that is 'too perfect, too pure' to be normal; it has lasted for two months. But tonight as the digital clock displays 00:00, a hint of life flickers across the television screen in her room, even though its plug has been pulled out. Strange nocturnal happenings, or a trick of the night?
