’After Dark is a streamlined, hushed ensemble piece....Standing above the common gloom, Murakami detects phosphorescence everywhere, but ehietly in the auras around people, which glow brightest at night and when combined."

-- The New York Times Book Review

A sleek, gripping novel of encounters set in Tokyo during the spooky hours between midnight and dawn, by an internationally renowned literary phenomenon.

Murakami’s trademark humor, psyehologieal insight, and grasp of spirit and morality are here distilled with an extraordinary, harmonious mastery. Combining the pyroteehnieal genius that made Kafka on the Shore and The Wind-up Bird Chronicle international bestsellers, with a surprising infusion of heart, Murakami has produced one of his most enehanting fictions yet.
