After Dark
Author:
Haruki Murakami
Reader: Janet Song
In Tokyo after midnight, the night people emerge. Haunted by secrets and needs that draw them together, their primitive desires unnerve the suburbanites who have missed the last train home. Savagery and love, mystery and empathy commingle in this tale that interweaves time and space. A New York Times Notable book. "Finely crafted experimental novel... Song reads to perfection... We're not only interested – we're mesmerized."—AudioFile

Synopsis:
|
Two sisters--Eri, a fashion model sleeping her way to oblivion, and Mari, a young student--form the center of a novel that documents a series of encounters--with a jazz trombonist, the manager of a "love hotel" and her maid staff, and a Chinese prostitute brutalized by a businessman client--in Tokyo during the witching hours between midnight and dawn. Simultaneous.

Book Reviews:
| "Standing sentry above the common gloom, Murakami detects phosphorescence everywhere, but chiefly in the auras around people, which glow brightest at night...but fade at dawn, when we go our separate ways." |

Author Bio:
|
The son of a literature teacher, Murakami learned English in school and grew up with American fiction. His first novel was published in 1970. He graduated from Waseda University in 1973, with a degree in drama, after which he managed a jazz and coffee shop. With the publication of his novel NORWEGIAN WOOD, Murakami became a cult phenomenon in Japan. He has lived all over the world, including Rome, Athens, and a Greek island, as well as spending four years at Princeton as a visiting fellow, where he wrote THE WIND-UP BIRD CHRONICLE. Murakami's books are set in Japan, but they are infused with the urban, eclectic, Western culture he has absorbed all his life.
