After Dark
Haruki Murakami
From international bestselling author Haruki Murakami comes After Dark, a novel as visually rich
as Edward Hopper’s 1942 painting “Nighthawks.” Beginning with the chance meeting of Mari and
Takahashi in a Tokyo diner, it traces the various encounters between strangers in the late hours of
the night.
"After Dark is a streamlined, hushed ensemble piece. . . . Standing above the common
gloom, Murakami detects phosphorescence everywhere, but chiefly in the auras around
people, which glow brightest at night and when combined." —The New York Times Book
Review
HARUKI MURAKAMI was born in Kyoto, Japan in 1949 and now lives near Tokyo. His work has
been translated into more than fifty languages, and the most recent of his many honors is the
Yomiuri Literary Prize, whose previous recipients include Yukio Mishima, Kenzaburo Oe, and Kobo
Abe.
