by Haruki Murakami
Review:
This story takes place in Tokyo over seven hours late in the evening. Here are three loosely related stories, linked by Murakami's surrealist style and realistic coincidences. The underlying themes of loneliness and alienation are carefully crafted through only a few sad characters. I originally thought that I would read Murakami's Kafka on the Shore, but then when I kept coming across reviews of After Dark and saw it in the library, I knew I had to read this one first. I own Kafka, so I plan on tackling that one soon. Murakami's writing is whimsical, magical and mysterious, which made you not want to put this book down. If you haven't read anything by this author, I suggest you give him a try. You will not be disappointed!about the author:
