![]() ![]() There is a good story, but Murakami chooses to take you through the vibe and tension of this big city and its nightly inhabitants. Now, let me ask you one question, what do you expect from a book? Do you like it for the plot? The story? Then I must say, this isn’t one of those. This is the overall plot summary of the book. The events that occur in between, the people she meets, how it affects her, and her relationship with her elder sister. The book tells the story of Mari on a particular winter night, the darkest and longest of nights, from 11 pm to 6:45 am. Murakami’s After Dark is a stroll through night exploring identity crises, alienation, dualism loneliness, and other human darker traits with psychological and magical elements playing around and Murakami slowly pulling us into his night world of Tokyo through the magic of his words. ![]() ![]() Imagine listening to a melancholic trippy song on acid. ![]()
